Anyone have any credible idea of when Arena is coming to Mac? During this COVID-19 lockdown, it sure would be nice to give it a try. I know there are ways I could partition my Mac but I would prefer just a simple installation for Mac OS. I find it somewhat frustrating and strange that Arena has been out as long as it has been and still not have Mac OS support. Wizard of the Coast could make so much more money getting this up and running, especially during these strange times.
Thanks in advance for any responds.

It was announced back in August 2019 that an Apple version will come out "shortly".
It's been seven months so... no idea.
Behind the scenes, WotC developers probably goofed and implemented Windows-only features on the Unity engine so the cross compiler isn't working as it should. Or they might not have an Aple of recent vintage in-house. Or a multitude of other reasons. It could even be something stupendously stupid as Apples policy surrounding apps in the Apple store (I think if there are any microtransactions, Apple gets a cut?)
Ultimately, the core reason is there might not be a large enough Apple community to light a fire under WotC's butt to get it done.
Haven't seen a recent update about other platforms since late February, but if it's any consolation, I'm equally anxious to play Arena on Xbox One!
Suffice it to say that my (admittedly old) PC isn't meant for gaming and barely has the specs to run it even on low video settings.
It's quite a demanding piece of software!
