    Counter-Strike 2 Not Coming to Mac

    There just isn't enough players to justify it.

    On October 9th, Valve flat out said that they have no plans for a macOS release of Counter-Strike 2. Part of the reason is because there just weren't enough people playing the game on macOS to warrant continuing support for the platform with their new release.

    The unfortunate news was stated plainly in a new Steam Support page for Counter-Strike 2. In addition to dropping support for macOS, Valve is also ditching support for...
