Apple warned people for quite some time it was dropping support for 32-bit software, similar to what happened to iPhones and iPads back in 2017. But that’s much different than what’s going on with the rest of my library. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, for instance, became unplayable back in 2018 due to a DRM issue. It’s not a total surprise some of my Steam games are no longer compatible with my laptop. Today, I logged into my Steam account to find a majority of that collection no longer works. With increased Mac OS support from developers and cheap-ass prices from Steam Sales and various Humble Bundles, my library exploded from just a couple of games into a collection that easily dwarfed every other gaming device I owned. When I upgraded to my current MacBook, a coworker goaded me into going all-in with Steam. I downloaded it right away for the free copy of Portal, but didn’t do too much with the client as World of Warcraft was my current obsession. The pendulum started to turn the other way about six years ago. In the same time I’ve been tethering myself to hardware out of One Infinite Loop, handheld devices have provided me with a majority of my gaming experiences with select other titles strewn throughout. This spring, I’m trading in my current rig for one of those dope ass iMacs. For starters, I’ve been a member of the cult of Mac since high school, going from an eMac to a Mac Mini to my current MacBook Pro.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not much of a mouse & keyboard gamer.
