    Nice but I’m surprised it took this long when Apple is doing its best to make OSX the worst possible platform for gaming.

      Because people use their computers for more than just gaming, and there are a lot of Macs out there. I have Steam installed on my MacBook, and I can’t remember the last time I played a game on it.

        Eh, I use Steam occasionally on my macbook, and it works reasonably well for my intended use: taking breaks at work. I didn’t choose to have a Mac, that’s just standard issue for my team, but my boss is cool with me running Steam games on it from time to time provided I get my work done.

        However, games just don’t run well on macOS, even with official support. The CPU just isn’t as powerful as my desktop, so I can’t play heavy strategy games, and the GPU isn’t much to write home about, so the few graphics-intensive games are out too. So I mostly play casual and story-heavy games on it, but only like once every other week or so.

        99% of my gaming is on my Steam Deck or my Linux desktop, I only use macOS for a small game here and there (usually Risk or a visual novel or something).
