It turns out that Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg is a fan of the Diablo series. Unfortunately, she is also an Apple person, and Diablo IV is only available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
Goldberg took to Instagram yesterday to demand Blizzard Entertainment release a Mac port for their newest and best-selling release, Diablo IV, which has become Blizzard's fastest-selling game in a matter of days since its June 6th release date.
The actress recently purchased a copy of the famed dungeon crawler and action role-playing game, only to realize later that it isn't compatible with her Mac laptop.
"I have always used my Apple computer to play Diablo. It's my favorite gaming system. Give me my Diablo IV because I paid for it," Goldberg said in her Instagram Live.
Most Diablo games —with the exception of Diablo IV and Diablo II Resurrected — are available to play on Apple devices.
Angry at missing the opportunity to play the game, Goldberg continued, “This is what I'm asking you, Blizzard. This is Whoopi. You know how much I love Diablo. I would like y'all to let those of us who use our Apples to play… allow us to play on the Apple. Take Diablo IV and let us do it and have a great time.”
On the other hand, Rod Fergusson, video game producer and general manager for the Diablo series at Blizzard, seemed perplexed by Goldberg’s sudden and unexpected outburst

Diablo lovers shouldn't despair, though, because there are already ways to play Diablo IV on Mac using Apple's new Game Porting Toolkit.
