[SOLVED] Need help getting my dad to play Baldur's Gate 3 angielski

Edit: Looks like the GOG version is available for OS X, so I’m hoping that’ll work. I guess I was just a little tipsy when looking at the GOG page since it’s the holidays and missed it. Also, I didn’t think about Steam gift cards/PayPal. That’s another way of getting games on Steam without giving payment info. Thanks...

jmchrist,

Oh that’s awesome, must not have read the GOG page carefully enough, thanks!

And on that other note, he’s the one that keeps bringing it up, he just wants my help to find the best way to get it for him. I agree he’s a bit stuck in his ways, he doesn’t use anything that needs his CC or address (unless my mom signs up for it first lol), and doesn’t like downloading anything that he’s not 100% trustworthy of.

Thanks for your help, I think GOG is the way to go!

jmchrist,

Lol, that would work for me or my friends, but I think giving him a pirated version might make him even more sketched out. Thanks for the idea, though!

jmchrist,

That’s not a bad idea. I was planning on just gifting it to him over Steam since I have no qualms with giving Valve my CC, but if he wanted to buy something in the future, that would be a great work around.

jmchrist,

Someone else in this thread mentioned the GOG version works on Mac, although I can’t see anything about it working on ARM, but I’d assume it does since it says it works on OSX 12+.

I’ve tried getting him into Steam, but he has some sort of grudge against it, idk why. Thanks for the suggestion!

jmchrist,

Lol, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s neurodivergent (I probably am too tbh), but I think it’s just more how he was raised and now he’s just too old to change his way, lol. He’s been a computer engineer since the 80’s and has been on the internet since about then. I think he’s just gone to too many security conferences and gotten a bit paranoid. Better to be too cautious than the other way around in my opinion. And to be clear, it’s not like he’s overly paranoid to the point of affecting his life, he just doesn’t like giving his info out online to places he doesn’t trust.
