  • Steam could build for 64bit

    Steam is doing that, though rather piecemeal. Both their client and runtime are moving towards 64-bit.

    but it won’t help the gigantic amount of games that are 32bit also.

    Doesn’t WINE’s WOW64 implementation solve this? Albeit with a non perfect compatibility.

    because macos bo longer ships with the 32bit libraries needed.

    I have no idea what the MacOS software landscape looks like, but if it uses WINE it might just be its silver bullet? If Steam does move towards 64-bit only, they would want to keep it compatible with Linux, due to their SteamOS ecosystem, and in turn MacOS users could also reap the benefits.
