They have to program something new on 64bit OS software to support 32bit. Provide backwards support, especially with little or no effort (a line ofĬode that says 'include 32bitarchitecture' or something) it isn't as though Have you heard of backwards compatible? I actually think Steve Jobs Perform faster on a 64bit architecture with proper support. In truth, 32bit apps take less ram and for some processes they even Phenomenal backwards compatibility, I can also run current 64bit No more than 16 bit! I have thisĬool archive on a 16bit windows 3.0 CD.

EVERY mac user I meet that's upgraded to it complains about wanting to downgrade back to Mojave!! Apple or MS Exec: LETS DO IT! (I used to just say apple was like this, but MS is copying from the play book lately).

Oh hey guys, if we don't include this old code here, all the old games will stop working, the users will blame the game companies, and we'll sell a TON of new hardware and new games on our app market! Y'know the new expensive ones that people aren't buying because they'd prefer to play through such blockbuster title's as HL2. It's a little game we play in the industry called,Īpple or MS Dev trying to make a name for himself: You bought the hook, line, the sinker, AND the brooklyn bridge at that point.

Talk about backwards thinking! You've drank the koolaid and I suspect it's too late for you to get good technical representation. they expect valve to COMPLETELY redevelop their 8-15 year old software stack so it can support their new BS driver they prefer now. What happened to the philosophy that if you CAN keep it backwards compatible without too much trouble, you should! I mean, how hard would it be for the mac dev team to include openGL and 32bit support as a downloadable compatibility package? NOT hard!īut if you read the comments, instead of them adding a SIMPLE option to download and opt to use old code for a game to work properly. This is CLEARLY intended to steer users to new hardware and software. My favorite part of the MacOS user comments is how they blame the developers of old software, for an OS choosing NOT to be backwards compliant.
