"Upgrading to Catalina will cause many Aspyr games to no longer work".
This landed in my email this morning and is another timely reminder about the impending release of macOS Catalina. No further support for 32bit games which you may have purchased or collected over the years and still have a fondness for.
There will be no updated 64bit versions of older 32bit games.
Some dedicated Mac Gamers are already making plans to run Mojave or earlier macOS on external drives, virtual machines or dual boot systems.
Personally I intend to partition my 500Gb SSD, retaining 100Gb for Mojave and turning the rest over to Catalina.
The simplest method of doing that I can think of is to create a bare bones version of my current Mojave CCC backup by booting from it and removing everything except native apps (plus CCC and games I want to keep of course).
With Catalina installed use Disk Utility to divide the SSD into 400 and 100Gb partitions respectively then clone the bare bones version of Mojave to the 100Gb partition.
This should work but if anyone has any better ideas or believes my method may strike a problem (or not work) I'd welcome some feedback.
