Downloaded two game apps, but macOS would not load it. error message also said "macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Is this new with Catalina? anyone else have this problem, or do your apps run?

🥺

update: clicked the "?" button: 

• "App Store and identified developers: Allows apps from the Mac App Store and apps from identified developers. Identified developers are registered with Apple and can optionally upload their apps to Apple for a security check. If problems occur with an app, Apple can revoke its authorization. macOS checks the app before it opens the first time to be certain it hasn’t been modified since the developer shipped it."

Good news! There was an maxOS update this past week, and now if you first open an app from Finder, you are given the option of allowing the app to run. Just like before  🤪
