Steam to End Support for macOS Mojave and 32-Bit Games

[Nicole1980]

Nagging window and feature deprecation in Mojave is a downgraded experience compared to High Sierra, which has none of those issues.

Who knows what Apple disabled quietly in Mojave to nudge more people to abandon their old machine or upgrade to Catalina.

When they said 32-bit support was "deprecated" in Mojave, that simply meant that they did no updates, not that they somehow limited it.
Deprecated in that context merely meant that it was left alone, and soon to be discontinued. Which of course it was in the following MacOS release.

I had absolutely zero additional issues with 32-bit programs in Mojave compared to High Sierra. So if you were having issues between the two, I'd say it was something unrelated that you mistakenly concluded was from the 32-bit support in Mojave.

How does it do in real world performance versus a Deck though? Because we got data on that 2018 15 inch Memebook Pro and they ain't pretty versus a Steam Deck.

An Intel Mac is also better in the real world because it runs native Windows.

Windows is the defacto gaming platform and not Linux.

It dropped to Very Positive not Mostly Positive. The Recent Reviews are mostly positive. And this is out of 7.7 million reviews

And the game still gets a million plus concurrent players daily

Something tells me someone (maybe the one I'm quoting) is a sales rep for the steamdeck, lol

Why do people keep saying that? Do I look like a sellout?

Fair. Everyone’s experience and perception is different.

That was probably the most awesome response to a zinger that I have seen in a bit. I may still think your purpose on this thread is to sell those silly SteamDecks, but I definitely appreciate your humor about it. 😉

There are apps with issues under Mojave that don't have them with HS. DVD Studio Pro is one (and there are others that I can't think of at the moment). You need 10.13 to run it properly. I never even tried since so many pros were complaining about that at the time. I moved it to a VM situation since I was going to have to get used to that anyway. In VM you can't preview your dvd menus / disc etc. but everything else works under a 10.6.8 VM.

If anything, cloud OS will NOT support running older operating systems, cause whoever hosting them don’t want to become easy target of hackers as they already have a big target at their back.

I mean through VMs - I'm sure that there must be a way to do that but essentially isolate them from the host OS, right?
