What makes you think Apple cares? Most serious gamers would already be dual-booting Windows if they want to game on a Mac, and most casual gamers presumably wouldn't consider it a dealbreaker to have older games stop working.

> Most serious gamers would already be dual-booting Windows if they want to game on a Mac I'd say serious gamers already switched from macOS to Linux if they don't want to use Windows to begin with. Simply because you can run DX11 games in Wine on Linux, but not on macOS. Borking 32-bit games would only accelerate this shift.

  Gamers who use macOS probably use a console for gaming anyways.

    Try running something like VtM Bloodlines on a console. It runs perfectly in Wine on Linux on the other hand. And I suppose it would on macOS, at least until 32-bit support will still be there.

Well for one, I won't be able to just take my work laptop on vacation and have the option to kill time with some FTL or This War of Mine. Not saying that OSX is the best gaming platform out there but it's very convenient to be able to take one light laptop on vacation. In (the rare) case I need work access I can do that. In case I don't, I can chill playing some games. Now it seems that won't be an option anymore :(
