Yeah I found that, I'm sorry. I should rephrase the question.

Anyone know a program to allow it to play on Mac OS-X such as an emulator or the like? Or am I once again regretting the fact that I threw away my Windows 7 CD key on accident? :(

It´s playable on mac. Just download it via steam. It uses steamworks, so you can play it on Mac and PC with purchasing it just once.

This is incorrect. DoW2: retribution doesn't uses steamplay. There is no available version of retribution for Mac.

This statement is also wrong-- Retribution DOES use steamworks. However, this does not mean that it supports a MAc system.

There's always Bootcamp

My statement is NOT wrong, as you can see I said SteamPLAY and not SteamWORKS. Steamplay is the codename for the pc+mac offer. Steamworks is another thing (I think it's the matchmaking system, mostly)

I do have bootcamp, but when I moved I threw away my Windows 7 CD key on accident so I can't install windows <_>

Alright, looks like I'm back to where I was afraid I'd be. Thanks all for the replies

Have you tried contacting Microsoft about getting another key?

Nah. As the way I had the CD key was through an HP computer I bought about a year and a half ago, and somehow fried while moving it to a larger box. When I moved, I threw the old case away without even thinking about it, and the CD key was on the side of the panel. So now, I have no CD (As the store bought computer didn't have one) no key, and no HP serial number to prove that I actually bought the darn thing.

In short, I screwed myself >_>
