> Meanwhile, Apple has been making a lot of noise about making the Mac a more viable gaming platform, given the exceptionally strong graphics performance (for integrated graphics on a laptop, at least) of the M1 and M2 series chips in the latest Macs.

Mac was actually doing pretty decently for game a few years back. A pretty big chunk of the games on Steam, including many of the high profile games, were available on OSX. Dropping 32-bit support set things back immensely, however. With that one decision, Apple made the number of games available to OSX users a small fraction of the amount that was available before.

Agreed. I stopped using Steam and their games on Mac when all the games I had purchased stopped working. That was the end of any Mac gaming for me.

I didn't have a Windows machine so I stopped using Steam completely for a few years until the Deck came out.
