It’s almost like modern Mac users can’t play games well on their Arm based hardware…but hey let the Linux guys have another scintillating victory……Yotld!

ARM isn't the issue. They run in the x86 emulator fine. I can't tell they aren't native. The problem is virtually no games support MacOS. ARM or x86. Anything that does seems to run really well.

I can play minecraft at 120hz for hours and hours on battery and it's a great experience.

I don't use Mac myself but the impression I got was a lot of Mac back catalog games got flushed when 32-bit was deprecated.

>>yomlic+YZ
Looking at my library, it's about half:

- Game used to be Mac playable, but isn't because of 32-bit

- Game doesn't have a Mac version at all

Valve's work on the Steam Deck shows they could fix both problems but why should they do free work for the world's richest corporation?

>>tl+Lo1
Because they would sell more games in the end. I guess this is exactly what will happen: A Steam Runtime for 32bit x86 games bundeled with FexEmu for M1 and a 32 bit x86 runtime for macOS in general.
