Mac users are different from others, they don’t buy overpriced machines just for gaming. They buy a Mac for the workflow and ecosystem, not for gaming.
Valve saw that, and decided not to waste money on the Mac market.
Apple always makes decisions based on the revenue, Valve did the same for once.
Honestly, Steam lacks a lot of pro-user rights. Developers are restricted by a lot of things that even itch allows you to do. Like a pay-what-you-want model or mentioning another storefront in your own demo/game. Not to mention that all you are truly buying on Steam is a lease to a copy of the game rather than the actual rights of owning a product. This sidesteps a lot of consumer laws in the USA.

You mean Valve did, as they always have.
I don’t know man, Valve seems more pro users than Apple to be honest.

About the lease thing I agree, but Steam didn’t really remove any games, if they did was because the original devs decided so.
I never said steam removes games but they absolutely do against the developers wishes.
Against developers wishes? Could you tell when this has happened before?
