Podcast interview with Nat Brown (aka NatBro) on Mac Game Porting and More! - Wumpus - 03-08-2025
Self-promo, but really interesting episode with Nat Brown, a longtime dev/gamer who worked at Microsoft, Valve and Apple and has many deep insights into Mac game porting, viability and what Mac gaming needs right now. A great question by Casper is also "What is the vibe like for gaming at big tech?" - Have a listen!

More sharing the better! I just only use X/FB/youtube for social so won’t see any comments there.

Great interview. I am a programmer who has first-hand experience with work that goes into developing and maintaining the build pipelines he talks about, but even so I hadn't thought about how much difficulty that adds to publishing Mac ports.
I didn't agree with everything he said, but he challenged some of my assumptions and helped me understand both Apple and Steam's points of view better, and how its gotten us to this point.

Maybe you want to come on the show sometime and provide your own POV/experience?

Huh, I'll think about it while I catch up on some more episodes. I am not sure I'm able to speak with authority on anything, but it might be fun just to chat.
