If you have downloaded the game in recent years on MacOS you may have noticed that you needed to manually give permission for the game to be ran. This is because gaijin has not gotten a developer ID certificate with apple. This makes MacOS not recognize warthunder as a trusted game which creates a handful of issues. First of all, a lot of people might not know how to manually give permission for the game to run. This could potentially make people frustrated and delete the game without ever playing. Also, because the game is unrecognized Apple automatically warns it might be malware which can also turn players away. This alone should be enough of a reason for gaijin to get the certificate. Without the certificate MacOS also does not recognize warthunder as a game. Because of this using MacOS game mode is not an option. Game mode would be very useful since it allows ur processor to prioritize resources for the game be ran. Additionally, Apple has recently added some very useful features for game mode such as frame generation in MacOS 26. This would further increase performance by lowering the task load on ur processor. Once again without the certificate you can not use these features. You might be asking yourself, “what does gaijin have to do to get this certificate?” All they have to do is sign up at Register as an Apple developer - Apple Developer . The registration fee is only $99 per year. For a company the size of gaijin this should not be a problem to pay at all. Even just a few premiums sold to the Mac community will reimburse this investment. Doing this could also lead to expanding the Mac player base.
