![]() They're becoming more insular, and the last time in company history they tried that, it really backfired. This is more like a change from 68000 to PPC. This isn't like a change from OS9 to OSX. They rebounded, precisely because supporting OSX, especially after they switched to x86, became much, much easier. The "old" stuff they were leaving support for, was their least successful stuff in company history, and the "new" stuff they were adopting were the most in-line with industry standards that they'd been since a decade prior. The switch from OS9 to OSX was softened with "Classic OS" support, and more importantly it largely coincided with the switch from PowerPC to x86/圆4. People were rightfully upset that they suddenly lost access to lots of previously cross-platform applications. Their marketshare eroded to the point where it was lowest in company history, and an enormous factor was that they had adopted an unpopular architecture which made them the odd man out, while cutting off support for one of the most widely used CPUs at the time with tons and tons of support. The first major transition Apple did was from M68000 to Power PC, and that nearly destroyed the company. This affects a lot more niche development than just games.Ĭlick to shrink.This is pretty disinengous because it ignores a lot of the nuance of their transitions. ![]() And also the sense that Apple is continuing to shove macOS towards a black-boxed, mobile-like future. The general issue, though, is a lack of trust in the stability of the release environment, when independent game projects can take years to roll out. The same goes for the Metal transition, which happened years ago. The 32-bit cutoff mostly affects back catalogues, not new releases. The whole lifespan of Mojave has acted as a transition period. It's not an environment developers can trust, and even as someone who prefers to play on the native Mac side, I wouldn't fault anyone for pulling out. ![]() Getting on the Intel architecture was what permitted so much of the PC/Mac synergy on the games side to begin with in the late 2000s and early 2010s, so you can bet on this as the final death blow. The next big incompatibility horizon, of course, will be when Apple migrates the Mac as well off Intel chips and to their own in-house processors, as has been rumoured for a while now. Among the big players, it's only really Blizzard building Metal engines for their back catalogue. ![]() And it's clear that the move from OpenGL to Metal (another thing they needed to do but put off far too long) didn't do the job they wanted, of having the viability of Mac games piggyback off the popularity of developing for iOS. It used to be that we could blame this on a blind spot of Steve Jobs', because what Jobs doesn't see, Apple doesn't do. I've been combing through a lot of older Steam listings due to the giveaways thread, and it's staggering how many titles used to have cross-buy/SteamPlay support but don't any longer, because Aspyr and Feral don't want to sell 32-bit-only software to post-Catalina users who can't play it (for obvious reasons), nor do they want to go back to maintain it.Īpple has never had a clue about games on Mac. The 32-bit transition had to happen sometime, but the incompatibility horizon introduced by Catalina is a problem to the point that publishers have been delisting Mac ports from storefronts, even for those of us staying on Mojave for the 32-bit support. Pour compléter cette liste, n’hésitez pas à m’indiquer les applications manquantes, en commentaire.As somebody who prefers to play smaller PC releases natively on the Mac when they're available (and up to this point, most of them were)-it's a matter of personal convenience-you can't imagine how relieved I am that most of that ecosystem also migrated to the Switch within the past year or two.
