On Mac, the commercial game catalog has always been more limited, and open source has been filling that gap for years. Historical strategy games, driving simulators, online shooters, and remakes of classics built by communities working non-profit and with the pride of keeping alive titles that would otherwise have disappeared. Free, DRM-free, and still receiving updates.
