TL;DR: Check: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/ and delete the games that are 32bit, reinstall them and that might solve your wows.
Explanation: I had some issues getting "Don't Starve Together" working on my Mac OS Catalina.
After uninstalling the game Steam left an empty (with the exception of some mods) 32bit game application file in `~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Don't Starve Together/` and after I'd reinstall it it would place the new install back into the 32 bit application. Only when I uninstalled the game, deleted that file and then reinstalled it, steam finally gave me a 64bit application that worked with my Mac.
Just tried to do this process. It all went well until I tried to download steam. Once putting it in the apps, I get a box that says "steam_osx" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
Any ideas for what to try?

You're launching the copy that's now in the actual Application folder you just dragged it into, right? Not the one on the .dmg that you just dragged. Try rebooting? macOS will reevaluate it only after a reboot.
Thanks for the detailed article! Ended up using brute force through Finder to get rid of anything connected to the Steam App. The pathways listed do not apply in most cases now. Did a fresh install. Will check later to see if it worked.

Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal app and write the following, dragging the Steam app into the window where it says, then hit return:
xattr -cr drag-Steam-app-in-here
Quite a few apps are getting reported as being damaged and run fine after removing the attributes. Seems to be happening since Mojave, maybe to do with some stricter quarantine conditions on apps downloaded outside the App Store.

Download Steam. Drag to Applications. Replace existing. Done.
It's great that it worked for you the way that it's supposed to. It doesn't always.
