how do i disable game mode for good

I dislike game mode. It makes my Mac run hot. I don't need it so I don't want it. The games I play are full screen and do not let me see the game mode icon so i can't turn it off.

I don't understand why this can't be disabled not just for one game. I didn't ask for it, and I don't wan it.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

To achieve what your are asking from would seem not possible


The Feature " Game Mode " is Built into the Operating System of Sonoma


Then have a few suggestions ;


You can send your  Product Feedback - and make it known to Apple regarding this issue 


Though, it is doubtful the entire Operating System will be re-written
