Valve Drops Support for Counter-Strike 2 on Mac, Angering Dedicated Mac Gamers

Valve has discontinued support for Counter-Strike 2 on Mac due to low player numbers, breaking the game on the platform.

Counter-Strike 2 represents a major technical leap for the series, prompting Valve to drop support for older hardware like 32-bit and DirectX 9.

Valve is offering a legacy version of CSGO until 2024 for those who can't run CS2, along with Prime Status refunds.

Despite less than 1% of CSGO players being on Mac, the move is seen as a blow to Mac gaming.

CS2 reviews are mixed, with players lamenting lost CSGO features and Valve's decision to essentially delist the original.
