I know that you guys are saying to "blame Apple", but the issue is with ArenaNet. They've been providing a service to Mac users that have machines using Intel processors. Now that Apple has moved forward with their own proprietary ARM processors, it is harder to make a launcher for two different types of machines. Yes, they are using the same MacOS. However, the difference in the processors can impact how the game is programmed and functions. I will say again, that I understand ANet not wanting to program and make the game work for the new ARM processor machines. However, they've happily provided service for those of us with Intel Macs for years. I believe they should continue to do so until the machines are obsolete, which would be years from now. They could just put a disclaimer that the launcher may not function with ARM processor models. Instead, they are abandoning Mac altogether without any consideration to those of us using those Intel Macs (which Apple was producing until only just recently).
