With CrossOver 14, you can run thousands of Windows software titles, without the need to buy a Windows OS license.

CrossOver 14 contains support for many newer Windows applications, a prominent example being Quicken 2015. CrossOver also supports many games, including new support for the very popular Hearthstone (on Linux), as well as other titles such as Cube World, Path of Exile, Warcraft III, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Terraria, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Xenonauts.
