There are so many games that I want to play that are PC only. I really wish people could make multi-platform games.

Consoles purposefully add a big barrier for indies, so that doesn't help. I'm sure many devs would love to support console but lack the resources. I can't think of a single AAA/AA game that is PC exclusive.

Well, I don’t own a console, just a Mac. There are a number of games on Steam I’d like to play, but they are PC only. Perhaps they are also available on consoles, but I wouldn’t know.

A Mac is a PC.

Only if you are being pedantic. Everyone else knows PC means a computer running Windows OS.

Nope.

Apple's marketing does not define these terms.
