CrossOver
CrossOver allows you to install many popular Windows applications and games on your Intel OS X Mac or Linux computer.
What is CrossOver?
Windows compatibility on Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS with no Windows license.
CrossOver allows you to install many popular Windows applications on your Mac Linux or Chromebook computer. You can think of it as an emulator, but it's different, because there's no Windows OS license required. Your applications integrate seamlessly in OS X Linux or Chrome OS; just click and run. No rebooting, no switching to a virtual machine, and no Windows Operating System license required!
Adding new Windows software is easy. Just select an exe, and CrossOver will recognize it and offer to install it. Once installed, CrossOver will configure your application to run on your computer. That's all there is to it.

not perfect by any means but worth paying for its much better than wine the software
[Edited by jonnymoon96, September 15]
CrossOver is based on Wine, in https://www.codeweavers.com/about/support-wine they say their development first comes to Wine and then to their CrossOver product. How can it be "much better" if it's practically just Wine? Am I missing something?

After officially purchasing a license <2 years ago I'm now facing OSX Lion incompatibility. Result: have to buy a new FULL license which costs more than before. That's how you treat existing customers who have free alternatives like Wine? Bye Crossover!
Just Wine, but expensive.
It's built on Wine! Why not just use Wine? I don't understand
This has slightly less horrible support for bottling games than Play on OSX (kin to Play on Linux)
Full price is abominable. Find it on 50%+ discount to bring it down below $20 USD.
Not all major versions are available in the 'purchase' window.
