Kind of amazing that Steam is a 32 bit-only program on Linux, and everyone is making the Fedora project out to be the bad guy here somehow.
Wouldn't the alternative be losing a LOT of old games on Steam?
There should be nothing wrong with a 64 bit program launching a 32 bit program. If anything, it sounds like Valve is using that as some sort of "comparability insurance"; if you can run steam, you can run almost all games on steam.
MacOS stopped supporting 32-bit with Catalina and, according to appleinsider.com, older games won't work on Catalina at all.
That must be on MacOS programmers. See WOW64.
Steam is just one if the things that would break. It's more than just gamers pushing back against this.
I wish people would read the discussion on the Fedora forum...
Can you post the discussion you mean?
Not difficult to find, but whatever.
