Dropping 32bit already killed all the paid software my wife and I had, so please, Apple, go Arm soon before we buy any more. At least that way anything we buy for our Intel machines will probably be multi-arch and ready for the future.

- shantly 7y agoAll my wife’s Steam games (mostly solitaire type games and search-based narrative games) are 32-bit only, and so was her copy of Scrivener. Every Mac-capable Steam game I have that I checked doesn’t work, either. So yeah, we did. Luckily I haven’t paid for any “serious” software but it was really annoying to have I install Win10 on a desktop machine again so my wife can remote-play her games. Between that and usb-c she kinda hates her new MacBook Air.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoAFAIK they make devs share code so Apple can recompile their apps to arbitrary platforms we dont know about. This means ARM too. I have seen a comment about this on every other Apple app store / arch thread here on HN. Anybody who knows better feel free to clarify or let me know if I misread them all.
