mana,

The article might as well be “Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening Because We Have a Vested Interest In Selling Steam Decks” just as Apple isn’t porting iMessage (and other apps) to Android because they have a vested interest in selling iPhones.

fox2263,

If you build it, they will come.

Vilian,

no?, Valve tried, never gave any result, and linux surpasses it in a year of thet launch of steam deck, Apple also don’t help fucking with opengl,vulkan and switching to Arm

Not enough people are playing my 20 year old game ?

thedirtyknapkin,

I made an edit .

Point being, is it really fair to say not enough mac users are playing CSGO when it’s 10 years old and based on a game 10 years older than that ?

lowleveldata,

Ya? What does the age of the game have to do with the current measurements?

Vilian,

wasn’t cs:go like always on top10 most playable games of all steam?

8ender,

You know what? Valve gets a pass here. They tried really hard to make Mac gaming a viable thing and it just didn’t work out.

Could also be because of the Arm chips which add more burden on the developers who have to account not only for another OS but also for a completely different CPU instruction set.

dingleberry,

BG3 on Mac has enough players? It’s a 🐔 and 🥚 problem.

If you make weed legal, the number of people breaking the law will go down.

If you don’t make any games for an OS, you won’t have any players on that OS.

Valve single-handedly resurrected the idea of Linux gaming and spent God knows how many millions of dollars making Linux a viable gaming platform after decades of everyone laughing at it and ignoring it. I think your pathetic fridge-magnet wisdom would be better suited for a context that isn't an article about Valve.

I was making a play at the title of this post, TBH.

Do you need a hug? It sounds like it.

colourlesspony,

I wonder if part of the reason is that apple deprecated opengl on mac os and replaced it with their property graphics api Metal. I image it would be a lot of work to port the source the engine to Metal just for a small amount of users.

Vilian,

CS2 uses Vulkan not opengl, apple still don’t support it tho
