SIDE NOTE: sometimes, if you do this, it will crash and the game won't start. for some games, you have to look further in the package contents and find more MacOS folders with more executables, and use this command on those ones as well. otherwise, works pretty good

My terminal for some reason displayed things a bit differently.

These vids and also that tip here in the comment section of just drag and drop (Mac has usually been cool with that stuff) was very nice and smooth going.
