Can’t you use Proton on Mac? I’d think that would solve most compatibility problems.

That or Rosetta, the built-in, hardware-accelerated x86_64 compatibility layer.

The problem is that proton needs to translate direct X to Vulcan, but Apple doesn’t allow Vulcan, it has to be their own thing, Metal.

So it’s a lot of work for valve and fully dependent on apple not screwing them.
