@PurpCat Speaking of which, I can't believe Pangea Software is still around given that Apple has only become more hostile towards games (breaking compatibility on macOS every 5 years), and their iOS and tvOS catalog is nothing to write home about.

@xianc78 A lot of Mac devs who didn't close just pivoted.

Namely, Aspyr and Feral have pivoted towards porting games to consoles, iOS, and Linux. You can literally play Alien Isolation on mobile because of those devs and nobody else is doing ports like that.

@PurpCat Pangea is still supporting Apple platforms exclusively.

@PurpCat Is this like the Macintosh Garden? I guess I could take this as an opportunity to finally try some of the Mac exclusive hidden gems like Escape Velocity.

@xianc78 hotline was an old BBS software that was for Macs/Windows PCs and GUI based, over the internet.

It was huge at one point then the greedy users (who wanted you to pay for warez) and development drama killed it.

@PurpCat Oh yeah. I remember you talking about it and how the creator wished that he made it FOSS and/or decentralized so it could live on.

@xianc78 yeah the protocol at least got documented and there's FOSS compatible clients, unlike some of it's "replacements" like KDX.
