    They tried but I wouldn’t describe it as trying hard.

    Steam client is still Intel only and runs via emulation on ARM Macs. They didn’t bother to update their games with 64-bit binaries so most of their catalogue stopped working years ago. Their only remaining “modern” game, Dota2, keeps going because it’s the only game to make that jump.

      They’re not referring to any recent efforts. Valve’s push for gaming on mac happened years back, before the ARM transition was even a rumor. And even then, it was apple that stopped trying first, before valve did.

      Valve DID try, but you’re referring to things from AFTER they decided to cut their losses. Of course it’s lackluster.
