Users and game devs got the message Apple was sending loud & clear.

32-bit is the only change that actually broke anything, and it had been deprecated for a decade.

64-bit OpenGL/x86 games work fine on ARM.

Will x86 games work in 2 years? Will OpenGL? What about in 3 years? 5? Then what happens to Valve's Apple owning customers purchases?
