Thanks for reminding me of the hundreds of dollars of games on Steam I bought to play on Mac and now can't because I didn't realize that giving into to their Apple's incessant update nagging would completely remove support for those games.

In spite of everything else, you've got to respect MS for their commitment to backward compatibility. I still frequently run Paint Shop Pro 7 (bought way back in 2000) on Windows 10.

Meanwhile, iOS games I developed in the 2012-2014 period were no longer runnable by the end of 2017 (due to the iOS transition to 64bit)

Wow, yeah, i didn’t even know about that. That’s another reason to never use macos.
