I wouldn’t be surprised if Mac usage is slumping hugely.

I’m a Mac user and previously used Steam quite a bit. But can’t since upgrading to an M1 as Valve hasn’t compiled any of its games to be 64-bit compatible

FYI you can run the Windows version of Steam through Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit (or crossover-wine). I do that on my M2, works pretty well. It’s just like the old Linux days haha

Thanks for the head up. I use Parallels at the moment, which works well enough. Haven’t looked into the toolkit, but will do.
