I genuinely feel bad for Mac gamers.
You pay a premium for the hardware. On paper, it should run AAA titles without breaking a sweat. But in practice? It’s a wasteland.
I’ve bought Mac games before. Had some great times. But let’s be honest—Apple treats backwards compatibility like it’s beneath them.
You know how many games I bought directly from the App Store that don’t even launch anymore? I’m still bitter about the original Call of Duty. Paid full price over a decade ago. Dead. Doesn’t open. No apology.
Now compare that to Linux. Games made 25 years ago for Windows? Run better on Linux than on actual Windows.
It’s absurd. But it’s also why I don’t game on Mac.

John Gordon Trust me, Microsoft cares way more than Apple does simply. Xbox Game Pass is a better deal on PC than on Xbox itself.

@atomicpoet I think MSFT revenues are overwhelmingly enterprise now. They have lost interest in XBOX ….

@jgordon They’ve lost interest in Xbox as a console platform. They’re now pushing Games as a Service, with the idea that “everything” is an Xbox. Which just so happens to also sell their cloud services.
Now I’m not trying to say Microsoft cares as much as Valve, but they certainly care more than Apple.
