So I bought a ticket for June Sweepstakes since Wardy said there won’t be any losers and everybody will get at least a surprise WeCard. I was hoping for something on my wishlist or a nr 9 but of course Wardy would play cheap and send me JB 2. 😆😭🙃🤷🏻♂️
So what do you think of this month’s sweepstakes? They say no losing tickets and everybody will get a surprise WeCard.
They have Halloween 9 on the banner and say you can win a random nr 9 from all chapters or a random vintage card. Will the surprise card be a nr 1-8 from active chapter? Is it worth 50 Wards?
Dorfromantik with "overwhelmingly positive" reviews on Steam is coming to Apple Silicon on June 25.
Dorfromantik will be available for Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 2020 and newer).
Over the past weeks and months, we’ve been testing internally whether we could bring Dorfromantik to Mac in a way that meets our quality standards. And by now, we feel confident enough to say: we can make it happen!
Thank you so much for your patience, your support, and for continuing to share your love for Dorfromantik with us.
Currently, CrossOver requires the use of Rosetta 2 to translate x86_64 instructions to ARM64. Rosetta 2 will be largely discontinued with macOS 28 in 2027, and our ARM64 CrossOver build will run without Rosetta 2, allowing for a seamless transition for our users.
Good news
The CrossOver team has been working really hard on some new things for CrossOver 27 that haven't even made it into a Preview build yet. Very briefly, these new things include:
- Some fresh UI changes for gaming bottles.
- ARM64 builds of CrossOver for both Mac and Linux.
Bad news
To make room for the new, we had to make some tough decisions. The bad news is that we will be removing some legacy support options starting with CrossOver 27:
- CrossOver Mac 27 will only run on macOS Sonoma or newer, and only on Apple silicon Macs.
- 32-bit bottles will no longer run, full stop. We've been warning about this since CrossOver 26 was released, and you will need to create new 64-bit bottles to use CrossOver 27 and beyond. Almost all 32-bit applications run just fine in a 64-bit bottle.
Don’t want to waste a trade in the app. Can send a one-star dupe. homy4 😄
I think there is a good chance for a Mac release. Creative Assembly and Feral Interactive are both British and have had business relationship for two decades. The first port Feral did of a Creative Assembly game was Rome: Total War in 2010. Since then there have been many Total War games ported to both Mac and iOS.
Feral also ported Alien: Isolation to both Mac and iOS and the iOS port was finalist in Apple Design Awards for Visuals and Graphics in 2022. Mac or iOS weren’t mentioned at Summer Game Fest reveal but it’s pretty usual that a Mac port is announced later after the PC release. Maybe we’ll hear something about it tomorrow at WWDC but it’s probably be too early to announce.
I hope we get at least one new RE game announcement on Monday at WWDC.
Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is free until May 27. It's a 64-bit game that works in Rosetta.

Several times I have encountered a weird bug? regarding people's wishlists. While proposing a trade their "wishlist matches" show more cards than the wishlist on their profile. How is that possible? How can some cards be invisible on their profile wishlist but shown as wanted in the trade?

Colonial Winds, a new city-building game is announced for Mac.
Finally! The dev has now removed the download link since many didn’t take notice of the warning about Whisky being discontinued. Hopefully now we don’t have to see all the daily posts about Whisky not working.
Thank you dev!

Tennis Manager 2026 for Mac is out on Steam and Mac App Store.
Tested devices: iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, iPad Air M2, iPad Pro M5, MacBook Pro M4 Max
The game was free on Dec 12 last year on EGS but some may have missed getting it. I saw it today and thought it was only free to play for a limited time since it's not among the weekly free games but apparently it's free to keep according to news media until May 3. The banner says though "Play for free now" so I'm a bit unsure despite everyone saying you can keep it.
For those who don't know it's a Windows game that should work well in Crossover depending on your system. You can also use Heroic launcher with GPTK. Here is a guide.
