Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an "Install on Windows" link with text below it "Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only)."
Yeah, I think that was not the case during their recent lawsuit with Apple. So relatively recently that changed and was limited for a "good" reason.
No Linux support though so whatever. Useless to me.
That is indeed a recent development. I might have known it if I didn't say people who prey on children should face stricter jail sentences and get banned from a site that supports people who prey on children, and thus lost access to the MacGaming subreddit, where I'm sure they posted about EGS coming back to Mac.
Logging in, it's interesting to see that so many games I own are supported on Mac. I started playing Dredge on Xbox Game Pass but never bought it. That might be fun on the computer. And it might run on mine. (Nobody buys a Mac for gaming. I'm a gamer who prefers a Mac computer to one that runs Windows... so I have an Xbox. Long story as to why I don't have a PlayStation.)
However, Fortnite is not (yet?) available for Mac. Maybe if they brought EGS to Mac, they'll bring Fortnite back. I'm not a big Fortnite player... another long story that is beside the point.
