Is this true? Could I not do OpenGL on a Mac?

They ship an outdated and unreliable implementation 😅 There are things that use it, but my understanding is you couldn't use it in the same way you can on other platforms.

OpenGL is a fossil at this point.

Is it not still maintained and the simplest graphics API available of the big three?

I learned that OpenGL is no longer maintained on Mac. I understand it's on a might work but no guarantee status and no help if it breaks.

The game still needs to support it, and very few things support OpenGL afaik.
