Hasn't poor support and bad/late porting to the MAC OS by software developers in general been the bane of Mac's existence since Mac's were invented? As an avid gamer, I've been using PCs my whole life for this reason, and hearing this complaint here all I can say is that this game, like many others these days, is buggy as heck on the OS it was ORIGINALLY written for. Adding an additional layer of software complication on top of that can only make things worse. Frankly I'm surprised Mac users still EXPECT games to be ported to Mac at all anymore.
I have just defeated the scorpion in the mines and the game got stuck in the inventory screen. I did quicksave, but after I restarted the save was gone.

This is piss poor optimisation and an extremely bugged game with tons of lazy programming.

This is nothing like the old RPGs Fargo, not in the feel, not in the look, not in the gameplay. You might scam people with your little videos and tearjerking “Hello fellow gamers” multiple pages of recollections, but this is incredible trash, I wonder where the rest of Kickstarter money went. Oh and from 2 as well. Incredible Irony that you should joke about 69.99 DLC, whilst literally scamming everyone for a half-baked RPG on an unoptimised unity.

Yes, ban this comment too, like you do with anyone who criticises you or this trash.

I don't expect games to be ported. I don't ask for it to be ported. But when it does get ported, I expect it to run just as well, if not better than the PC version. There are plenty of games that perform very well on the Mac. EVE Online, Don't Starve, Dota2. Just to name a few.

Whatever happened to that thing where Steam made its own version of Linux to get around whatever Windows crap?

If that was used, it would be a solution for Mac as well, as in theory it would run the same on an Intel Mac as on a Windows machine.

But yeah, I would never assume any Steam game would ever work on a Mac. Even if you have a big beast iMac, it just won't work.

Except for really simple pixilated games - point and click or whatever. Also, Rimworld runs fine on a MacBook.

That said, there is a Mac store that sells games, I guess it is just iTunes or whatever, where the games are a lot more optimized and at least all of the reviews are from people playing it on Mac. I've never used it but people say this.

In general, if you're a Mac user and a gamer, you simply have to own two computers. Obviously there's a cost issue there, but you can sometimes get your work to pay for one or the other.
