    How can there be players if the game isn’t on the platform? Quite the conundrum.

    Even with the SteamDeck, MacOS still has more market share, and thus potentially more users than Linux. And yet there is a native Linux version of the game. I’m not a fan of Apple but that’s a weak excuse.

      But apples policies are not. There is a reason valve goes full on Linux.

      Having capable hardware doesnt mean itll get supported well. Nvidia is the current largest dgpu vendor by a landslide (>80%) but doesnt support linux well. Turns out, hardware companies policies makes porting software harder. In context of apple, its by mandating Metal graphics api, and not allowing for the open source option of vulkan on OSX natively. Its apple putting more work on devs, when they can choose to also support Vulkan so that virtually all modern platforms could run a game without having to resort to conpatibility layers.
