Hello,
I come here with a question that has been asked a few times before, but is one able to play ECO on a Mac/MacBook M2 or M3? And if you can, how do you do it? And are there any future plans in possible Mac support?
Thank you!

"Support Status of Eco on different Operating Systems:
Windows 10+ (64 Bit): Supported.
Windows 10+ (32 Bit): Supported until Update 9.6 - No longer supported or provided for later Updates.
Linux: Unsupported. Development builds available and provided as-is without warranty. We recommend to use Proton. (Server: Supported.)
Mac without M1: Unsupported. Development builds available and provided as-is without warranty.
Mac with M1: Unsupported. Development builds not working at all.
Steam Deck: Unsupported. Compatibility: Playable, no adjustments made.
Windows: Works.
Linux: Development build available and provided as-is without warranty. "
That still applies, there is no plans to ever support ARM and hence also no Mac. We may want to support the Steam Deck in the future, which could lead to Linux support, but that is not currently planned either.
It would be nice if it didn't show up as a mac game on steam then. It shows up when you hit the "show games that run on mac." I don't know if there's a way to differentiate between intel mac and arm mac in steam, but I would probably switch "works on mac" off since Intel Macs are mostly going to the way of the dinosaurs.
I unfortunately don't think we can do that, as far as I know that is determined by Steam based on if there is any Mac builds uploaded, which we do have (development builds without warranty for Intel Macs). Hence the only way for any games is to check what their system requirements state, which is only Windows for Eco. If you know a way to do so while keeping the builds, let me know.
