Hi, thank you but the issue remains, both on Apple Silicon as well as x86. What kind of terminal workaround should I apply?

I prefer DRM free software. I'm less into Steam due to the client and because there can be DRM. Therefore, apart from VR and a few gems which are only available there, I buy games on other platforms like GOG, HB and itch. If a game is available on GOG or HB, they mostly work. On itch it's more like a lottery, some do, others don't, like yours. I don't want to use a Steam like Client, neither on GOG nor itch (then I could go for Steam directly).

Regarding Mac releases:

I miss information about which middleware (version) a game is compiled for which architecture (Apple Silicon, x86). Ideally this would include an update history with milestones which turned out to work for most people.

Knowing certain issues, you could avoid troublesome games and wait for updates without going through the hassle of being excited, paying, not being able to play, feedback-communication instead, asking for refund if there is no solution, waiting to get your money back.

I wanted to support this game (indie, p&c adventure, space) but sometimes it seems to be wiser to wait for a matured version or just watch a YouTube video. Will you offer a release on GOG as well? Is the Steam-Version running without problems?

Some games work whilst others don't. F.e. I recently tried 'If Fusion Were That Easy'. I would prefer a build for Apple Silicon, sadly it's not available. I don't want to install/run Rosetta, I want native support. Therefore I moved it on an old x86 Mac (same OS). The game wasn't signed. I needed to allow the game in my security settings. After that it worked (with all the omnious glory there might be). That's it. Why shouldn't this be possible for every Mac-Build?! Why the corrupt message exactly?

Games need to run on the latest OS. There is no way around this because people will up- and not downgrade. If you need different setting, rebuild/compile with the latest dev-tool version.

I rare cases there really is no workaround but here some games work whilst others don't.
