The article says it will be on the Mac App Store; I checked Steam and it is just on PC (and with high regional pricing). A step in the right direction but not good enough.
- I’ve heard that sometimes Steam won’t list the Mac version, but if you buy the PC version you can still download the Mac version. Unsure of how true that is, though.
  
  It’s frustratingly true.
- What's the problem with buying on the app store?
  
  If you buy the game on the app store you can only play it on Macs. It's an issue if you own both a MacBook and a gaming PC/Steam Deck.
  
  On Steam you get all the supported platforms + (most likely) save syncing.
  
  I have a Deck, and don't want to be limited to Mac if I get a gaming computer in future also.
It took me a hot second to realize that the game is called lies of P, not that someone named P lied about a game being ported to Mac.
- I've been calling it "Lies of Pi" (Pi like the number) for the longest time. My brain couldn't comprehend it's actually named "Lies of Pee".
  
  P = Pinocchio
  
  Turns out the real lie was the lie you were telling yourself all along.
- It’s definitely a strange name for a game.
Do you play this with an Xbox controller even on the Mac?
- macos natively supports xbox and playstation controllers
No Linux support?
- Linux native is just not a priority for devs since Proton pretty much removed the need to make them
  
  Native Linux support > Proton
