Comment on Steam dropping support for macOS Mojave and by extension 32-bit games
atocci@kbin.social 11 months agoWhat about it is misinformation? It's practically just Steam's own announcement worded differently. Everything in it is verifiable and supported by the Steam blog post.

First off it’s confusing as hell where they try to paraphrase or summarize for what Valve already said plainly if you bypass this blogspam article and just go to their support page where they spell everything out neatly that any 32-bit games will remain in your library and accessible, albeit that your OS may not place nice. This article almost makes it as if they’re removing stuff from your library, which Valve clearly says they’re not doing. The summary AI bot would do a better job sourcing the Valve blog update than this writer did.

But it doesn’t remotely imply that? Here are the words/phrases it uses to describe what will happen:
At no point does it say or imply that anything will be removed from your library. In fact, it explicitly says how you can ensure that those games you own will remain playable:
Why would they include that if they’re trying to tell people the games will be removed from their library?
Stop fearmongering.

Is it possible you might be looking at this old support page from when MacOS first dropped support for 32 bit apps but Valve was still supporting the 32-bit client for older MacOS versions? The current page is this one. I doubt they'll be removing games from your libraries at any point, but the new article makes it clear that they aren't supporting the 32-bit Steam client or 32-bit games on Mac anymore and make no guarantees that they'll continue to work when the client stops getting updates.
