EA App Required Now?

My worry as a Mac user is the delay for us is due to the new Apple M1 processor. My Mac is only two years old but it has an Intel processor. When Disney released Dreamlight Valley, Macs were two or three months behind every other platform in getting access. When it finally released I went to the Apple AppStore to get it only to be told it only works on Apple M1 Macs. I can't even download it because I have an Intel processor. This delay in launching the EA App for Mac users screams of the same thing, which means when it does launch my game, and anybody else on an Intel powered Mac, may be rendered unplayable because we don't have the 'correct' processor. Every other spec on this computer blows the minimum specs out of the water. I can run the game on ultra settings at a screen res of 5120x2880 without issues, and yet the name on the processor is going to render it obsolete long before the hardware wears out.

This is as much an Apple problem as it is an EA problem or any other software developer. It is something that Mac users need to be aware of because for those of us with machines made in 2020 or earlier may be in for a rude awakening when the EA App comes to Mac. We're not hearing whether or not we will need to have M1 Macs to keep playing. It would be nice just from the standpoint of not getting blindsided and being locked out until we get a new computer. I'm not opposed to getting a new Mac, the reviews for the M1's are stellar. I can trade this one in with Apple and use that trade in value to cover over a 1/4th of the cost of a new one, but since I want to custom spec it I need lead time. Since this one still runs like a dream I don't want to move too soon on getting a new one until it's absolutely necessary.
