I personally am glad that gaming on the Mac never really took off like on Windows, considering Apple sells a 2k USD "PRO" laptop that doesn't even include a proper video card...

On the other hand, if it had taken off then maybe Apple would have gone forward differently in terms of hardware/included video cards.

  It's not too late. It can still take off with external GPUs.

    Sounds like if Apple re-releases the Thunderbolt Cinema Display it could have a built-in discrete GPU. That could work really well, and I'd imagine it could allow even a Macbook Air to handle gaming fairly well.

      There's actually a rumor about exactly that! http://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/01/5k-thunderbolt-display-integrated-gpu-possible/ http://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/01/5k-thunderbolt-display-i...
