The popular Dota 2 multiplayer battle arena game drops support for several outdated technologies: 32-bit operating systems, DirectX 9, and others. Valve stated in a blog post that in a few months the game will stop supporting 32-bit versions of Windows and macOS older than 10.14.

Support for Mac OS versions under 10.10 (DirectX 9, OpenGL, and XAudio) will also disappear. The decline is reflected by dropping the Dota 2 wizard on the 32-bit method on all macOS versions prior to 10.04, which supports DirectX 9 (preferred by DirectX 11), supports OpenGL, prefers Vulkan, supports XAudio, and prefers SDL Audio. This will affect a small number of stakeholders as most computers will support the new basic requirements.
