I can empathize with giving up a platform that has little ROI. As a Mac-only computer gamer (after 30+years of PC gaming) it still makes me sad to see it abandoned.

I can say that the game seems to run fine on Crossover. GeForce Now is also a great option if you're on Ethernet on great Internet.

It's a competitive shooter, the kind of game people play at the lowest settings to reach 400 fps. I doubt many CS players will tolerate the added latency of streaming.

The way the camera works in FPS really strains the compression. It works way better for games with a top down camera. let me know if i'm wrong, this has just been my hunch.

Anything with low variability frame to frame will do better with compression.

I don't think the situation is as bad as it's made out to be. Yeah, you're not gonna get the latest triple-A looter shooter 3000. I've never enjoyed those. It may be a small minority, but enough games still get native ports that when I'm travelling with only my mac I'm never short of things to play.
