Wait, this was a 32 bit game? Neat.

I don't play TF2, but I thought basically all hl2 -family games were updated to 64bit ages ago.. apparently this wasn't the case :o

Any of the other games running the same engine still in 32bit land?

Portal and Portal 2 are still 32 bit. Newer mods based on Strata are 64 bit.

pretty sure anything other than gmod (and strata games) is still 32bit, even with the vulkan renderer support

Doesn’t look like they bothered to update their macOS client to 64bit. Currently the game is unplayable on new versions of macOS.

The issue isn't that they don't bother rewriting it to compile to AMD64, but that they'd have to rewrite it for ARM and Metal for basically no real payoff since OS X isn't a ~~popular~~ gaming platform.
