![]() ![]() Most of those games are no longer available on Mac. Most of them are on Windows, a few are on Linux. I have no such issue for Windows, so for the first time in 11 years, I bought a Windows PC. I have gamed exclusively on Mac 2007-2017, but the fact is that I can no longer do that, because most of my EXISTING GAME library no longer works on Mac. My general experience is that a lot of developers just stopped bothering to release a Mac version of their games and programmes, as keeping up with Apple has become too much of a hassle. I know some people have some success, but it's not exactly supported by Apple out of the box now is it? Good luck running 32-bit windows games on Apple silicon. Even Blizzard no longer supports Mac with all their games like they used to. For many the cost is higher than the protential gains, even If they are capable. Porting a program from 32-bit to 64-bit is not trivial, especially on older code, and porting to a different graphics engine is not either. On windows this is much less of an issue. I have plenty of older Mac game titles that are OpenGL only. Even quite a few post-2015 games that have official Mac ports, no longer run on Apple, like ARK. I'm running Mojave at work because Microfocus Groupwise is onl圓2-bit.Ī lot of older programs are basically abandoned, their developer might not even exist any more.
