Hello,

I would like to share important information with you regarding my games on the Steam platform. As of February 15, 2024, Steam will officially cease support for macOS 10.13 32 (High Sierra 32-bit) and 10.14 (Mojave 32-bit), affecting the availability and support of my games on these systems.
Some of my games have a 32-bit version for Mac, and I suspect that soon downloading the 32-bit version for Mac will be unavailable (after February 15, 2024). Check for more information here: https://help.steampowered.com/pl/faqs/view/5E0D-522A-4E62-B6EF. Some of my games are available in other stores, and there I can place any compilations, so I believe that you will still be able to download 32-bit versions from that store.
Below, I'm providing some important information for players using 32-bit Mac:
[list]
[*] Change in 32-bit Application Support: From February 15, 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and 10.14 (Mojave), and will no longer support 32-bit games on macOS.
[*] End of Support for Older Systems: Existing Steam client installations on macOS 10.13 and 10.14 32-bit will no longer receive updates, including security updates. Steam's technical support will not assist with issues related to older operating systems.
[*] Apple Ends Support for 32-bit Games: Since macOS 10.15 (released in 2019), Apple has discontinued support for 32-bit games and applications. As a result, some older games may cease to function on newer macOS versions.
[*] Necessity of Updating to 64-bit Files: Games offering only 32-bit binary files will no longer be sold on the Steam Store after February 15, 2024. Game developers are encouraged to update games to 64-bit files by the end of January 2024.
[*] Required Updates for Google Chrome Browser: Key features of the Steam client rely on the Google Chrome browser, which will cease to function on older macOS versions.
[*] Lack of Support for 32-bit Applications on the Steam Store: After February 15, 2024, Steam will no longer sell applications on macOS offering only 32-bit versions.
