Attention Mac players of LOTRO and DDO Unlimited, you really should think twice before playing these games on Catalina, the latest release of MacOS.

Both the LOTRO and DDO Unlimited Twitter accounts tweeted caution, and it seems both issues stem from the fact that Catalina will no longer support 32-bit applications,

With the release of Catalina for MacOS in the near future, Apple will no longer support 32-bit applications. This impacts the compatibility of our WINE-based client for MacOS. Players can continue to play LOTRO as long as they do not update to Catalina for MacOS. #LOTRO
