Honestly I see game developers simply abandoning MacOS (more than they already have) if they need to do more work on their back catalogues. Nobody at Adobe cares if CS3 doesn't run on the latest MacOS, it's no longer a revenue source for them. EA would care a lot more if all their games older than 4 years needed work to run on MacOS, there's a lot more long tail revenue in games (but a lot of that is over aggregated back catalogues where the revenue per title is pretty low even if they sum up to a significant amount) than there is in the more typical B2C cloud SaaS attached apps that the App Store model is designed to serve.
