While PC gamers are enjoying Counter-Strike 2, Mac players have been left with nothing

CS2 has finally launched, though seemingly not for everyone. A Reddit post from Sept. 28 claims that Valve’s latest is unavailable for Mac users. “Valve took away a game MAC users paid for and didn’t even let them play the replacement. Wtf is this release,” read the post’s title, with the OP lamenting Valve’s decision.

CS2 isn’t a standalone release. It’s an engine update for the existing CS:GO title that migrated the game to Valve’s newly developed Source 2. It has, however, completely replaced CS:GO on Steam and was thus rendered unusable for some users, primarily those running Macs. Some CS2 fans in the replies defended Valve’s decision, saying the game needs extra polishing to run on systems other than Windows, such as Mac and Linux.
