The article says it will be on the Mac App Store; I checked Steam and it is just on PC (and with high regional pricing). A step in the right direction but not good enough.
I’ve heard that sometimes Steam won’t list the Mac version, but if you buy the PC version you can still download the Mac version. Unsure of how true that is, though.
It’s frustratingly true.
Wait. Is there a list of games this is true for? I ony have a Mac and didn’t know this
Hey there I don’t believe there is a compiled list anywhere and I’m not familiar enough with querying steams database to know if there is a way to easily filter that data. The games I remember off the top of my head were deus ex human revolution and max payne 3. There are also a lot of inconsistencies in the pre/post Catalina 32 bit compatibility, I’ve found games that the steam page claims are not compatible but can be downloaded and played like hotline Miami.
Really wish steam had better options for viewing macOS options, the sub page from the store menu doesn’t really help much.

Yeah this one I found out because one of the games I played had that issue. It’s annoying that Steam’s store page isn’t reliable enough for Mac users.
It took me a hot second to realize that the game is called lies of P, not that someone named P lied about a game being ported to Mac.
It’s definitely a strange name for a game.
No Linux support?
Linux native is just not a priority for devs since Proton pretty much removed the need to make them
Native Linux support > Proton
If the performance is the same it’s not going to matter. Is native ideal? Yes, but if it runs perfectly on proton and at performance parity with Windows, it doesn’t matter. Proton was a massive “fuck you” to Microsoft. It removes the Windows requirement without creating any negatives.

I daily drive Linux every damn day and I’ve had multiple scenarios where Linux runs better than Windows. Guild wars 2, elden Ring, TF2, csgo, dota2 running vulkan. I would never go back to Windows…and it is problem free, running AMD hardware and I’ve never messed with drivers ever, and installing games is as easy as clicking install. How is that so fucking hard to accept?
The performance is not the same. Games will always run slightly worse on Proton. Pretending there are no negatives is just crazy.
I love Proton as much as the next guy, but it’s no replacement for natively supported games.
It’s nearly the same if not better in damn near every game I’ve played…guild wars 2 for instance had a 10-20 fps increase in certain areas on my Linux install over my Windows 11 install. It happens, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but I daily drive endeavourOS and I would never go back to Windows and miss out on so many options to play my games better than I could on Windows.
I never said otherwise. But it is the direction Valve decided for Linux
It’s just a band aid. It’s not a solution.
I never said otherwise. Just stating what the situation is
