All old valve games have long been deprecated on macOS since apple dropped support for 32 bit applications in 2019 and valve seems to have given up on mac gaming all together.

It would be good if valve ported many of these changes like HUD scaling to their other GoldSrc games as well.

Didn’t EA shut down Origin or at least make it optional?

Technically no. EA now just calls it “The EA App”

I have mixed feelings on it.

I like the improvements Source 2 has brought as well as the map-based ranking system.

It feels kind of rushed though. Many maps and gamemodes like arms race are missing and valve seems to have removed macOS support. The increase in graphical fidelity has caused performance to drop by half at least on my old-ass PC.
