- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Is this true? Could I not do OpenGL on a Mac?
They ship an outdated and unreliable implementation 😅 There are things that use it, but my understanding is you couldn't use it in the same way you can on other platforms.
OpenGL is a fossil at this point.

I learned that OpenGL is no longer maintained on Mac. I understand it's on a might work but no guarantee status and no help if it breaks.
The game still needs to support it, and very few things support OpenGL afaik.
