64-Bit version for Mac?

[dondle]

MacOS Catalina has just been released and 32-bit apps no longer work. Will the Shadowrun series be updated to 64-bit?

Someone's gotta say it.

This why you don't buy apple products.

Forced obsolescence is a scam. Stop falling for it.

Laughs hysterically in Windows 11...

Sure...

Right...

Apple products...

Let's not get into the Linux distros that have started dropping 32-bit support by default.

There comes a point when you need to move on from technology released in 1987.

I'd enjoy being able to play these games again... Are they in Paradox's catalogue, or are they abandonware at this point?

They now belong to PDX since PDX owns the studio, yes.
But it's not abandonware. You might've mean out of support? Yes, they are finished.

There's no such thing as "abandonware." It's a fancy name for "software piracy."

Mind, you, I wish copyright terms were shorter and that game companies would do more to keep older games working on newer systems (then again Good Old Games exists for a reason), but to pretend copyright magically disappears after a game's been out of X-many years is a wonderful way to get a cease and desist letter and your server shut down.

Yes, illiterate subpar Linux distros that joined that illiterate trend. This whole new vs old thing is for people who are not literate iin subject and blindly repeat things they hear.

I found this page and guide works for me. I am able to play Shadowrun on my MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max.

michal, thanks for that link! it is wild that the update process is so easy that you can do it as a customer, and the publisher hasn't bothered to update it. Presumably they could sell more games if it, you know… worked?

It's so easy only thanks to Unity game engine. Developers could've done that too, but modern way of publishing games often prevents developers from updating their games, because "it costs money to do".
