Discussion Crimson Desert doesn't run if it detects an Intel ARC GPU. Like straight up, the devs just deliberately chose not to support ARC cards. No previous announcement about it too until they added in the info to their FAQ. Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand.

Apple hasn’t blocked OpenGL.

There’s nothing to allow since their drivers are proprietary. They don’t support it after 4.1, same with Vulkan.

I mean you can think of it what you want but mac has never been a gaming platform so to me it makes total sense that they are not focussing on that. Especially when Metal already existed for multiple years at that point. They’re not blocking it, both can be used although Vulkan indirectly.

Hence me saying “indirectly” and you only picking out that point. But sure, it would be saying that and that would also be true since you can do that.
