Next, or next-next. The sites I follow (MacRumors and 9to5Mac) are saying Golden Gate (macOS 27, out now in beta, out to the public in "Fall" (Autumn, most likely mid-September)) is the last one to support it. Though, I thought they were talking about Tahoe (macOS 26, the current version) was going to be the last.
Neat, wonder what's included in Mac OS 28s games, and if it can be hacked to run on whatever.
Yeah, I just saw that. I updated my MacBook Air to Golden Gate, and it has a warning about Rosetta 2 being dropped in macOS 28.
I don't think I run anything through Rosetta now. I've played Blue Prince and Cyberpunk 2077 on the Mac, but I think those are Apple Silicon. They were released in the last couple years (that is — the ARM64 version of Cyberpunk, not the 2020 release), so it should be ARM64. I also play Animal Crossing: New Leaf via a 3DS emulator. Pretty sure that's Apple Silicon. If not... well, I hope to be done with ACNL by this time next year. I can play Animal Crossing: Wild World on my iPhone via the Delta emulator (or others, I'm sure).
It's funny, you don't get a Mac to game, but a lot of Mac users now are ex-Windows users who got tired of Microslop's bullshit and put their money where their mouths were (or keyboards were). There are a few die-hards from the 80s and 90s among us, but since Apple Silicon, a lot of people have left from Windows. I was running a 4th-gen Xeon, so I was doing most of my gaming on an Xbox anyway. Always wanted a Mac, but I was a gamer first. I got priced out of PC gaming... so when that PC died, I got a Mac. Now I have two of them. It really is better here, but not in every way. I like it, so I'm getting my money's worth. They're also not the premium/expensive computer platform anymore. The computers start at $600, desktop and laptop. The laptop only has 8GB of RAM and is basically an iPhone 16 Pro in a laptop, but it's still more capable than any Windows machine at the same price point. The same power on Windows costs a lot more. The base M5 Mac mini is a bit easier to beat on the PC side, but a $600 Windows desktop PC is not going to be great. I still think the Mac will treat you better. If you're a gamer though, you need more. You're looking at a Max or Ultra variant, and for what those cost, you better really want a Mac, because comparable gaming PCs cost the same or less. Top end Mac users aren't gaming either, they're doing creative stuff (think Hollywood, Pixar stuff).
