App store

Categories is still available on my Mac (running macOS Catalina). Both in the sidebar and via Store in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

That is disappointing, your solution is to get a new Mac really? Do you buy a new house when your shower faucet breaks too?

At the moment the only options which helped me, are google, macupdate, and alternativeto.net to find apps I need, and steam for games. I haven't find a better solution, and It seems apple doesn't care anymore. If you guys have better solutions please let me know.

There was never a Categories in Sierras AppStore, but use the Search function to identify what you want.

If the house is old, inefficient, can not be brought up to current standards, then yes.

A house is not a product like a computer so your comment does not apply.

I don't argue with what you said, and you might be right to some extent. But this issue is not something which promotes changing an entire machine, I don't see why a missing category button in AppStore, can not be fixed, but instead promoting people to change to more expensive newer fancier machines that is if they can afford it of course, which is another question, would be a better viable more efficient etc. solution. I though Apple is a customer oriented company, not a company oriented company, and I hope it is still true.

You don't know the poster's situation. Maybe they are having other problems with the 8 year old computer. Maybe they have apps that will soon require a new computer, maybe, ... All they said was maybe it is time for a new computer. Maybe in their situation it is time for a new computer. Why question their off-the-cuff statement? I often say "maybe ts time for a new car" if the radio gets satatic for a moment, or I need new tires, etc.

Well, I guess you are right. I might have taken a simple comment too serious.
