  1. The WG Game Center Mac Wrapper, regardless of macOS version, is 64-bit - most likely to ensure compatibility with macOS Catalina as that version does not support any 32-bit code at all. CodeWeavers, who produced the WG Game Center Mac Wrapper for Wargaming, has just released Crossover 19 which appears to allow 32-bit code on macOS as a 64-bit process [wine32on64]. This may be significant in that it may allow developers who cannot/will not update to 64-bit to continue to use 32-bit code - e.g., XVM However IMHO anything that enables 32-bit code to run is a determent to the game running on a 64-bit OS as it requires the OS to run a compatibility layer, maintain both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries, require 32-bit code to be installed and take up space on your storage devices, etc. 64-bit only OSes are on the ascendance and should be getting attention by developer as eventually 64-bit will be the standard. 32-bit is in its twilight and spending resources on 32-bit code may not be the best value as eventually it will no longer be available. Apple made the right decision of only allowing 64-bit code. This has been painful for some but they need to remember that Apple has been telling developers for several years that a 64-bit ONLY environment was coming which clearly puts the fault on the developer. Perhaps they could look at how CodeWeavers handled the situation ... Before you start stating that macOS users are not relevant - why would Wargaming produce a 64-bit version of World of Tanks if macOS users were not relevant?
