    Isn’t the problem that they are using ARM hardware. Like sure your x86 emulator can be good, but if you look at something like proton it’s taken years for it to get good. And that’s not even a different CPU architecture. So apple would have to make a wine equivalent, a DKVK, equivalent, and a really great X86 emulator if that’s even possible on current gen hardware.

    Somehow I don’t see them catching up with Linux gaming.

      The already have the best x86 emulator. They also have a lot of leverage over big game manufacturers. Especially ones that have iPhone apps. They are able to use carrot and stick to get Devs to develop for MacOs. I don’t think they will, they just don’t want to say they don’t care about gaming.
