*Additional Update for May 20, 2020:
Last year, we announced we would be transitioning to 64-bit apps following Apple’s decision to end support for 32-bit versions upon the roll out of macOS Catalina. Unfortunately, during this process we discovered we won’t be able to update Command and Conquer and have removed it from our store today, May 20, 2020. We will continue to provide customer service support for our customers who purchased this game through us, but have not updated to macOS Catalina. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Hello Aspyr Gamers:
As you have likely heard, Apple has announced that it is ending support for 32-bit apps in MacOS Catalina and future operating system.
For players who choose to remain on MacOS Mojave, your 32-bit games will continue to work and play just as always! All your purchases on the App Store are linked to your App Store account, and you’ll be able to keep playing as long as you continue to use macOS Mojave.
For Steam players who remain on Mojave, you will be able to access your 32-bit Aspyr titles purchased on Steam. Alternatively, our titles all support SteamPlay, so you’ll be able to continue playing on a PC and/or Linux machine. We will continue to support our 32-bit games on Linux, so if you have any issues please reach out to our support team via support.aspyr.com.
Even with this change, it’s important to note that many of the titles we offer today are already 64-bit or will be in the near future, and will work on Catalina.
Thank you,
The Aspyr Team
