EA did have a choice, though. From their perspective, the system requirements for TS3 for Mac (the older and still current version) clearly say that it won't run on Catalina or higher. They didn't have to do this new version, but it's great that they are doing so. And many of us are very excited to see what it brings to the table and what it might mean for the future of TS3 for all players if it turns out to be a positive experience.
Hence the reason why I said "inadvertently" meaning that they had no choice since new Macs came prepackaged with OS Catalina.
The fact of the matter is that the end of 32bit support for 32bit applications is being written by the moves that both Microsoft and Apple have made in the last year. And the "didn't
have to" is going to end up becoming a "
must do". It's whether EA learns from the "scramble" and disaffected Mac players experience and decides to be pre-emptive in converting their game to 64 bit for Windows and thus avoiding further and more numerous disaffected players who will more than likely give EA major headaches if they haven't learned from the previous lesson.
