Valve has completely betrayed their Mac fanbase
We supported them for years, and they suddenly remove our ability to play, or even access our skins
I had $2500 worth of skins in CS:GO that I can't access now, I'm seriously considering a lawsuit
Valve has completely betrayed their Mac fanbase
no one cares buy a real computer
This, frick Mac users
fpbp
you weren't smart enough to not be on Mac, I don't want you in my game
I use a Mac as my daily driver and I don't even blame Valve for this.
Everyone knows you don't buy a mac for vidya, no matter how much Apple claims they care; if they did, they'd support vulkan natively and add some way to run 32 bit classic apps as well.
I bought a real computer (Mac) because it is great for productivity and as an adult gaymes are secondary, thanks for asking.
everyone uses msoffice for work in every domain stop kidding yourself you just like the status not actual productivity
I've never seen a mac in use in my life besides in my high schools media production classrooms, they all had slenderman installed on them and with how shit mac is for gaming the newer macs probably can't even play that anymore
Macs as productivity machines is a psyop pushed by Apple when they pushed for schools to have their shitty computers. 7 years of Macs in middle/highschool and everyone besides Starbucks startup social media hipsters use Windows/Linux. morons like you will b***h about Windows being corporate slop, but then waste money buying into the walled garden Apple garbage. My wife is an interior designer and you'd think an industry like that would be a trap for Apple/Mac but its not.
okay then secondarily game these nuts since it's all you can play while I play CS2
I have a Mac and it's the fricking worst for multitasking. The dock is the worst thing about using MacOS
Doesn't it have an equivalent of win + tab or pic rel?
It does, and it's slow and has less features than the windows equivalent.
I dont even understand htis meme.
How is it good for productivity?
What does it do that windows cant?
Windows can run everything it does, Mac can't run everything windows does.
You can buy a 50% better computer if you go with windows and any of those savings can be put to software.
>User Experience: Apple is known for its intuitive and user-friendly design, making it easy to use and navigate. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction for workers.
Apple being good for productivity is just corpo marketing speak for it's made for morons.
It does even less for productivity because it does not even have shit like nvenc, cuda, tensor cores
It does less than Windows so it's better for productivity lmao
Jokes aside, they are better for amateur video/audio engineers or people that need to use a browser the entire day. Not much for the anyone else. There's a reason most people you see with MacBook are the artist-starbucks drinking kind.
I'm a video editor. Don't fall for this meme like I did. The screen is really nice, but I wish I got a Windows laptop for work.
Valve had betrayed their Windows 7 customers already Mac was next on the chopping block
Valve wants to control and monopolise linux gaming just like how Google controlled and monopolised current web browser through control of open source chromium project same plan like Google its okay cuz its Valve same shit history repeating again iirc it was It was okay cuz its Google
Your lawsuit has no substance try anti monopoly and refunds problems more substance there but who cares when we have like this
>Valve had betrayed their Windows 7 customers
All 0.06% of them.

You Steam Inventory, moron?
And do what?
I can't play with them, so they're essentially useless
sell them ?
>Uh, what would I do with $2,500 worth of skins i use anymore
gee i fricking wonder dipshit
He spent 30k gambling on skins
Sell them and buy a PC.
>Valve has completely betrayed their Mac fanbase
But not nearly as much as they betrayed Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
still too good
Never give in, King
I email this to gabe once a month king. You will have reparations

You fricking morons are lucky they didn't hire professional hit squads to off you like you deserve.
>Mac fanbase
>we can never go back to the comfy mac gaming era of the 1990s
it hurts
Didn't Apple already betray Mac gamers? Like multiple times?
its ok when they do it
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Valve betrayed the Appl fanbase by breaking support for CS:GO without even allowing users to import their skins to CS2 which they said they would in January 2023 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
you know there's going to a niche os to get more freedom, no mandatory updates that blue screen you pc, and then there's going to a niche os where you get more fricked in the ass and treated like shit, why are mac gays like this?

nobody wants to publish mac games anymore unless it's a subscription model they can keep making money off of because the apple developer fees are forever and you can't run unsigned binaries unless you frick around now.
This is vengeance.
Feetgays on suicide watch.
macs are superior devices
its honestly a shame they aren't comparable in terms of gaming
because there'd be no reason to use shitdows otherwise
While the new mac chip is impressive, you are still better off with a traditional PC, using Loonix, if you hate Windows so much.

Why gives a frick about mac support, they removed fricking game modes from CS2 thats far worse

Then what the frick have I been doing?
Playing on Proton. It doesn't run natively yet.
I find that doubtful.
Go check it out. Unless they rolled GNU support in the past 5 days, it's not running natively yet.
>unless they rolled it out when they rolled out the game
based moron
They didn't roll out half the features and the pcbros have been coping with either "they'll fix it with an update!" Or "nobody cares about that feature!" So I assumed the game didn't release with GNU support.
So you just talked out your ass without knowing what you were talking about?
The specific issue is that it doesn't work with an audio system that half of linux systems use, so they tested it on steamos and ubuntu and not much else
That was fixed in like a day
moron
check the depots you moronic gorilla Black person
AKASSCUATLY runnign games through proton is still native and wine doesnt emulate anything
It not being emulation doesn't mean it's native. It's still a compatibility layer.
akchuatly the way windows NT is designed, it also runs on windows through a compatibility layer
It runs natively you absolute idiot mongoloid Black person homosexual israelite. You are beyond fricking stupid.
most of that shit is coming though.
Why not just not release it until all that shit is ready then
>has dogshit anticheat
if the anticheat was good you would cry it was spyware, people cannot be pleased on this matter
Exactly. This dedication to a company that goes out of its way to do the absolute bare minimum is pure mental illness.
It’s not even about Macgays. It’s about Gabe being a fat lazy moron and Gankeredditors defending him to the ends of the earth.
>muh anti cheat
When will this meme die? Just play third party MM, problem solved. Official servers will never not have cheaters, accept that fact and move on.
What is the mac niche?
It isnt audio or art production, it isnt rendering, the horsepower holds them back.
My Ableton and Cubase setups are too heavy for a mac, and the controller exclusivity is one-way (pc gets all).
The niche is that it's a rock-stable OS that doesn't require setup and works well for most users.
On Windows you will inevitably fiddle with driver or update issues eventually, plus all the MS account and bloat they added in W10/11. On GNU you must configure your OS until it's perfect and you will have hardware issues with GPUs, laptops and new hardware; plus update bullshit in non-fixed release distros.
On MacOS you never deal with any of that. The niche is that "it just works" and doesn't get in your way. Plus it has a bunch of extra features if you invest in Apple's walled garden.
It's not for everyone and the machines are hilariously overpriced and brittle, but as an OS it's not bad at all just like iOS.
Do macs not have forced account stuff needed to do anything? iPhones sure as shit do
Nope, you can use one without an apple id.
Obviously you won't be able to use some features like the mac app store (but there's nothing worth getting from there anyway).
I asked what the niche is, you didn't give me one.
The "rock solid" os comment doesn't really land in a thread about yet another thing mac cannot run.
Linux has a few use cases, windows has a dozen, what is mac's?
>The "rock solid" os comment doesn't really land in a thread about yet another thing mac cannot run.
Rock solid doesn't mean that it can run everything, it means that it doesn't crash.
>On Windows you will inevitably fiddle with driver or update issues eventually
I have been using windows for 20 years now and I ran into driver issues once, when i tried updating laptop from 2013 to windows 11. This was because wi-fi module support was dropped and company that made it simply did not release drivers for windows 11.
>plus all the MS account and bloat they added in W10/11
What bloat
>On GNU you must configure your OS until it's perfect
Ubuntu configuration takes less time than windows configuration.
>you will have hardware issues with GPUs, laptops and new hardware
I have been using linux for 5 years now, mostly on laptops, and the only issue I ran into was that 3 years ago, when installing linux, it couldn't I dentify my gpu correctly automatically. Once I downloaded drivers from nvidia website it worked.
>anecdotes
Anon, Windows tech support is a multi million dollar business. Nearly everyone from home users to companies need it as some point.
Windows' and GNU's issues with hardware are plentiful and well documented. Until recently WiFi drivers were a nightmare on GNU and most laptops couldn't even use sleep mode properly or change between CPUs.
t. GNU user since 2009
no it does fricking suck.
I can't even get my mouse to work like a normal ass mouse. it fricking slows down when i mouse over a button
> My Ableton and Cubase setups are too heavy for a mac
This isn’t true and makes no sense
>buying skins
you deserve everything bad that happens to you when it comes to video game companys fricking you over. get fricked moron.
you can't be for real. I refuse to believe someone this moronic exists.
On the latest hardware survey, macgays are lower than linuxgays, so literally, who cares?
>I had $2500 worth of skins in CS:GO that I can't access now, I'm seriously considering a lawsuit
It's insane that people were willing to pay for skins in the first place, but I doubt they are willing to pay such prices now, so they aren't worth that.
Go ahead and sue Apple for taking away OpenGL.
itoddlers BTFO
It's a live-service game, certain computers getting phased out comes with the territory of rolling system requirements.
I kinda like the game :
PffffffHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No refunds.
>I had $2500 worth of skins in CS:GO
2500 dollars of literal pixels no one care about but no real pc
gonna be an XD from me dawg
>inb4 poorgay cope
if you really had that much money you would have a normal pc just for gayming
>Mac
>steam on macos
Only have yourself to blame moron. Valve's already said they have no plans to port Steam to ARM, because nobody fricking makes games for Macs, especially when Apple is outright hostile towards gaming by doing shit like removing OpenGL/Vulkan support in favor of their special snowflake API.
MAC gays get what they overpay for
If you were actually someone with thousands of dollars invested in cosmetics for CSGO I would just laugh at your expense, but for some reason I’m going to give this thread an earnest reply and suggest that you either install Windows or Linux if you really own a Mac and care about playing games on it.
>can purchase 2500$ worth of skins
>can purchase 2000$ mac
>can't purchase 300$ pc that will run circles around mac in CS2
I only play 1.6 and Source instead of any of this femskin and glowy gun garbage that CS became for transexual eSport wannabes. You have only yourself - selves - to blame
>I had $2500 worth of skins in CS:GO that I can't access now, I'm seriously considering a lawsuit
Sell ur shitty mac and get a pc then? moron.
Applegays deserve worse, I hope gaben is based enough to drop steam support on mac
This isn't Valve's fault. Apple has updated their own OS multiple times to 64 bit so anything running Source 1 or 2 is unplayable on Mac, they also require certain security protocols otherwise Macs just won't run certain software at all. If you own a Mac there is nothing you can really play on Steam now.
>gaming on a mac
who the frick buys a mac for video games? are you moronic?
>$2500 of skins
mac owners really are insane, aren't they?
Apple doesn't even support their Mac fan base and applegays expect others to support them indefinitely lmao
>buy a more expensive computer
>limited by objectively worst hardware
IQ issue
GO is shit. Play 1.6 and Source.
>get a free Mac from work
>figure I can at least install TF2 on it
>32x apps don't work on macs now
So what are my options. Seems like I'm just gonna install windows on this thing.
>32x apps don't work on macs now
Didn't they drop support for 32 bit in 2012?
I wouldn't know. I haven't used a Mac since before then.
My bad, it was in 2011 with os x 10.7
>Mac fanbase
MAC is the future.
who the frick plays vidya on a mac
less people use it than linux according to the hardware survey
Use Bootcamp and use windows. Or if you have M1 or M2 mac then well what did you expect hahahaha.
not seeing the appeal of macbooks is a neet trait. if you actually had to work on a laptop you'd know.
My MacBook is a work computer, I wish it had Linux or Windows instead.
>Mac
lmaoooo
no one forced you to buy a computer with a phone chip
To port a game to macshit nowadays you have to jump through a bunch of hoops, Apple removed OpenGL support and they don't even support Vulkan natively, so you have to deal with godawful Metal or use something like MoltenVK and hope it works. Not to mention their chips are now ARM, so even more work, you'll have to port from x86-64 or use a translation layer with some performance penalty and maybe bugs. It's a mess. No add the fact they have a smaller userbase than Linux and you have a perfect recipe for why no one gives a frick.
Yeah. Many mac users even complain that many mac compatible games only work with intel macs only. Like don't they understand their ARM chips just aren't compatible?
Metal is actually a pretty nice API to work with, especially compared to Vulkan or DX12.
But of course the issue is that you'd end up wasting a bunch of time that you could have spent working on your actual game instead.
MoltenVK seems to work pretty well and barely has any overhead thanks to Khronos' layering strategy, but still it's beyond moronic that Apple doesn't support Vulkan natively, or at least work closer with the MoltenVK team.
Unless the developer wrote a bunch of assembly in their engine, or were stupid to use windows headers exclusively instead of using something like SDL, then it's extremely trivial to recompile for ARM/Apple Silicon.
Actually, how is this NOT lawsuit worthy? you buy the game and then they "update" it and you literally cannot play anymore
lmao

You own nothing, you never did
>I had $2500 worth of skins

>mac b***hes b***hing about non-issue shit
Buy a real computer or load up bootcamp. Stop being a moron. Learn how to actually use a fricking computer.
>NOOO DON'T CRITICIZE [COMPANY] IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!!!1!!1!
I don't give a frick about valve or your dumbass issue. Buy a real computer, learn to actually use the tool you have, or shut the frick up.
Nobody played CSGO on Mac OS, and less than a single percentage of Steam users use a Mac. This is entirely a you problem, buy an actual PC if you wanna keep up with PC gaming.
i've been using a mac for almost 4 years now and the amount of dumb shit i have to deal with on a daily basis is outstanding.
frick apple, i'd rather slash my wrists than give them a cent
