<p dir="auto">As a result, every App (except a few unmaintained games) which hasn't been recompiled for Apple Silicon will break.</p>
<p dir="auto">Rosetta 2 is an Apple Intel to Apple Silicon (Arm) wrapper used during their Apple silicon transition.</p>
<p dir="auto">Rosetta 1 was removed in 2011, breaking all PPC (non-universal) apps on Intel Apple Machines.</p>
<p dir="auto">Whilst <a href="https://lemmy.world/u/madthumbs" rel="nofollow ugc">some</a> in the community love to boast about "ABI compatibility", they sure don't seem to have any problem with every app breaking on new Apple hardware, or being forced to buy a new computer to use newer versions which may not include the old architecture compiled in...</p>
<p dir="auto">It's likely only a matter of time until those games break too</p>
