Patient Gamers

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

A friend of mine was a gamer many years ago but hasn't been gaming in a while. They run a Mac and I run a PC. What are some good patient games we can play together?

Pretty much anything valve released on the source engine. TF2, half life 2, portal 2, either of the left 4 dead games, all run on Mac and have co-op modes.

With a bit of fiddling (i.e. installing the Windows version of Steam with Wine). I think they're all still 32-bit and Apple has dropped 32-bit support in recent macOS releases. Maybe that'll change since they're making a 64-bit Linux version of Team Fortress 2, but I won't hold too much hope.

Oh my bad, I didn't realize they weren't keeping on top of apple's architecture changes
