IF there are work around and they are not going to spend a man-year of dev time fixing your inept purchasing decision working to implement it, great. if not, learn to buy gaming computers for gaming. Business machines WILL NOT suffice.
Sidenote: Up until the recent release of osx 10.10, I had AO running just fine in wine. At the moment the binaries are all in flux so it is inop, but I am certain once the change over to 10.10 is further down the road, I will have no problems getting it to run again on my early 08 MBP, which uses nvidia 8600m. You might want to be certain you know what your doing before you complain, because "I gave up it was too hard" doesn't really cut it.
