I really wish that Apple would just pony up cash to developers to get their wares ported to the new Apple Silicon chips.

I can play Fallout 3 and New Vegas on my M2 Pro MBP. I know that makes me a stereotypical Millennial, that I'm playing that and not the Fortmonth or whatever the kids are playing, but to me, the ability to do that really does cement that machine as the do-it-all machine. I can set up my workstation portably by having my MBP and my second screen on my iPad 10", do Python backend development easily, then kick back with Fallout at the end of the day. All with great battery life and cool running temps.

I'd love to have that capability formalized.

I'm not sure that would work in the long run. Fallout 3 came out in 2008 and is no longer actively maintained. Even if Apple could convince developers to port to macOS/Apple Silicon the games will, at some point in the future, stop working because most games are not being maintained long after release and Apple is fine with breaking compatibility.
