Btw, Rosetta 2 actually supports x86-32. Which means you can run 32-bit Windows binaries through WINE, just not Mac 32-bit binaries.

So if you kill support for an old game, it will probably never be updated since it's no longer commercially relevant. Publishers are probably almost happy when old games get broken since they can sell you newer ones easier.
- albumen 2y agoRe games, I've tried running Black Mesa recently 'directly' using Crossover on an M2 Max running Sequoia and the GPTK2 beta libraries; vs running it in a Win11 VM in VMware fusion 13. Performance of the latter is 2-3x better (70-120fps). I'll be playing old Steam games inside the win11 VM going forward.
