## Kitsmith's take

Editorial-override inclusion (docs/PIVOT.md rule 5): not in the approved-candidate pool, but it’s a genuine cultural phenomenon (Overwhelmingly Positive across 250,000+ reviews) and one of the cheapest well-known games on the list. Native macOS build confirmed — Metal-capable graphics required, Apple silicon or Intel, not a Windows-only port.
