I have been a fan of these newer macbooks. They are just pushing the boundaries of a good laptop. While I understand the use, I hope someday my AAA games are also as supported in MacBooks as my gaming laptop.

How does anyone enjoy playing AAA games these days? Literally feels like a chore. This coming from a previous gaming addict.

I’d love for games to work on a Mac too. I just can’t justify paying through the nose for a PC when I hate using it for everything else.

The decompilation efforts I've been seeing with 15 year old Xbox 360 games or PS3 games has been absolutely incredible, getting them running natively on macOS with presumably much fewer engineering resources than are allocated to a standard game port.

I do think the limited macOS gaming market is a chicken-or-the-egg problem - people don't game on Macs because there aren't that many great games on Mac (Although Cyberpunk runs amazingly on my M4 Macbook Pro).

I'm very excited for the future.
