Will Mac Catalina 10.15.5 catch up to Steam?

Well, this is a bummer, I initially was hoping that Mac was going to stay up-to-date with the gaming community on this one! 34 bit games no longer work on Mac? It's kind of a shame, maybe this question is for the techy peeps out there but do you see Mac progressing to become one with Steam again so that we can have more options for gameplay? And wouldn't it be nice if we could all be on the same level?



MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Support for 32 bit apps is gone and it's not coming back. Please read 32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later.


tl;dr Macs and macOS incorporated 64 bit architecture about a decade ago, macOS "Catalina" is about as refined as it will ever get, macOS "Big Sur" is replacing it, and if game developers haven't released 64 bit versions by this late stage it's unlikely they ever will.
