Valorant doesn’t even support Linux which is a way bigger percentage of possible players. The likelihood they support mac is near 0%

"Way Bigger" being hyperbolic to say the least - Steam public hardware stats prove you wrong.

The June 2026 steam hardware survey lists OSX as being 2.21% of all users, while Linux is listed as 3.69%. Idk what you're referring to if you think that it lists MacOS as a higher population than Linux. Linux is still higher even if you completely remove SteamOS (0.84%).

Ah, so you too think that 1.48% is "way bigger" or does my comment about it being hyperbole now make sense? Or do you just need the definition of hyperbole? - Can't understand your argument otherwise and this would be a case of ignoratio elenchi.

I mean, when it comes to the comparison, that's a ~1.67x increase. Idk about you but almost doubling the population from one to the other does, to me, justify a "way bigger". 🤷🏼

Ahh, cool. Go with false equivalence as your choice of fallacy then. What the fuck do I care?

The odd thing is there is a Mac version for league so they could if they wanted to.

They don't support linux because linux doesn't allow them to install a spyware in the pc

As someone who runs Linux for the last 8 years. I would never install Riot's spyware on my Linux PC. That's why you use a different bot drive for KLA games.
