Comment on MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam

  Because Steam only uses proton on Linux AFAIK, and the guy said he’s running Mac, so it it’s not native it’s not available to him.

    I think that calling it a redflag is a little out there when you buy a mac. Who buys a mac expecting to game on it? That’s like complaining about games on steam not working on Linux in 2012.

      You’d be surprised at how many games run on Mac natively. RE2 Remake on a MacBook Air is surprisingly good.

      It is a red flag for them. Just like how before proton lots of us said “No tux, no bucks”, just because it’s not a red flag to you does not negate their opinion of it.

        A red flag is an indicator that something is wrong. It’s not a deal breaker, though red flags can also be those. These are different concepts with some overlap. A red flag in this case would be the developer stating they don’t care about non-windows systems.

      True gamers make do with a single mouse button. Mac is the ultimate platform.

    Steam really doesn’t have compatibility options on Windows or Mac? That’s kind of silly

      Windows doesn’t usually need them as most games are native, and Mac doesn’t do Vulkan (in their immense wisdom Apple decided to invent Metal instead) so it can’t use dxvx. Valve could still have wine there which would work most of the time, but it might be a lot of support for a janky experience at beat.

  I can run Steam Deck verified games on my Mac? How? (I don’t think I can, I think you just missed that I have a Mac, not a Steam Deck.)

  I didn’t look for Steam Deck verification, I just looked at the OS flags above the price. They have them for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    Apologies; didn’t read that far when I saw it. But to be fair, your exact quote was “Requires Windows”, not “Requires Windows or Linux”. You’re sort of the odd one out on macs.

      The game requires windows, just because you’re able to make Linux run it doesn’t mean the game supports it.
