All you need to do to play your favorite shooter, racing game or plain old Flappy Bird is OS X Yosemite. That’s it. Oh, and the USB cable that came with your iPhone or iPad.
No this isn't my first time playing those games, in fact I have 133 hours and 73 hours clocked in BF1 and BFV respectively, I am using a Gigabyte GTX 1060 OC edition, an i5 7500 clocked @3.4Ghz and 16Gb of DDR4 memory, and I am currently on windows 10. The game won't load on my computer. What should I do? Why can't I access the game on my computer? I am not receiving keys or lives from friends. I asked friends for keys, but I'm not getting any keys back. My friend list and invite list do not show anymore. Why is the time required for a free key getting longer? Received items are gone. Mac mini Mac Pro MacBook Air MacBook Pro 13'. And at 100 hours of play time, it was easily my longest game. I don't think other games had broken the 70-hour mark.

Granted, AirPlay mirroring will also get you there. As will some third-party apps. But these are tedious solutions. For those of you who want a simple plug-and-play affair, hit up the paragraphs below. You won’t regret it.
Remember, you need to be on OS X 10.10 Yosemite, so if you’re unsure what your OS version is at this point, just stop and hit the Apple menu, then choose About This Mac. If your OS version isn’t 10.10, but something lower, hit the Mac App Store and download Yosemite for free. That is, if you’re sure about upgrading your Mac.
Also worth noting is that this doesn’t just apply to games. You can also use these steps to make video tutorials of things happening on your iOS device’s screen. But if you’re reading this, chances are that you’re in it for the games. So, without further ado...

Step 2: Launch QuickTime on your Mac. The app will default the video feed to your Mac’s built-in iSight, so you should be staring at your Mug right now.
Step 3: Notice the small arrow pointing downwards next to the red record button in the middle (at the bottom of the QuickTime image preview window). Click it and choose the name of your iDevice from that list (i.e. Rob’s iPhone).
