going off this it is definitely possible, but again unlikely If they announce something then maybe you'll get an answer to your question. They have deep enough pockets, but this is Valve so who knows?. Where else would you suggest they go to express their dissatisfaction and force Valve into action? 3rd parties will still be releasing games on Steam regardless. It's not like customers can buy a 64-Bit version Portal 2 on a different store anyway, and any Mac users into gaming are already likely (I would assume) to have accounts with Epic and GOG in addition to Steam.

I hope so, just so we can keep on saying how Portal 2 is one of best co-op games on Mac :). Maybe that 10% market share is worth it to them (maybe not). I don't know what their Mac sales figures (or Team Fortress 2 hat sales) are like. I too hope that Valve in their great and unmatched wisdom will update their titles and source engines eventually, especially considering how well regarded their 1st party titles are but I don't expect or feel entitled for them to do so (I just have to make a point of enjoying them while I can much like I would do with older console generations before backwards compatibility became a thing). Unfortunately that library has shrunk all of a sudden for Catalina+ users now that 32-Bit executables are no longer functional and this is a sad prospect, especially from a game preservation point of view on a platform which is already marginalised and maligned by the gaming community (sweeping generalisation I know). The reasons I think Mac users would still use Steam are simply its convenience and library (and perhaps the attractiveness of the sales). I can't see Mac customers abandoning Steam as a marketplace when new Mac titles are likely to be 64-Bit from now on.
