Or even work on case-sensitive macOS partitions. As far as I know, they are the only major mac software to explicitly hold that back.


They've finally fixed it after 20 years because APFS is case sensitive. But it's been a lovely way for them to force upgrades to the pay monthly creative cloud if you want to ever move off HFS+.


This is not actually the case. APFS can continue to behave as a case-INsensitive partition (check the options when creating a new APFS volume), and remains so for the system partition, I guess specifically to avoid any hard-to-debug compatibility issues.


Steam doesn't work on case sensitive hfs or apfs.

Ask me how I know. >.<


which is all the more surprising considering Steam and many of its games work on Linux, which is case-sensitive!


How do you know? :P


Heh, no more games! Though I suppose thats a good thing for getting stuff done.


you can install mame/gnome arcade on linux and definitely create a dangerous distraction. I've wasted some time on centipede, burger time and even snacks'n jaxson
