Linux has proton, Mac OS doesn't.

If they give half a shit about it then supporting the gam through proton is a lot less effort than making an actually good native linux version.

    Linux has proton, Mac OS doesn’t.

    macOS has Apple Game Porting Toolkit which is just another Wine distribution for which developers made easy installers for. GPT + Windows version of Steam is how I played Counter Strike 2 against a Mac user just recently.

    That said, I didn't really expect someone with that Lemmy handle to know such things.

    I've been messing with that tool on and off from the day it was available to developers. I'm well aware of it. It's ass.

    It's been a few months since I've used it so maybe it's gotten better? But this is Apple and gaming, so I don't have high hopes.

    It's not at all comparable to proton other than it does the bare minimum to make a game work. All of the tools and tweaks that go into proton are what make it so good. Maybe for CS2 someones put in the work to make it ok. But whether it's through crossover, wiskey, or whatever else it's been awful for me. Maybe version 2 is better. But even then I doubt it will be as seamless or good as proton is.
