It wouldn't. It would give MacOS a library of games optimised for mobile. Why would you want those on a desktop computer? And how would you play many of them when they require touch input?
- minimaxir 6y agoSure, not 100% of the games will work / some gestures may be wonky, but the vast majority of popular iOS games I can think of would work fine out of the box. (much less APM than games like Diablo or MOBAs) I’d love to play longer iOS games on a system that doesn’t cause it to heat up profusely and massively drain battery life, as there are some unique iOS games that were never ported to a Mac.
- dmitriid 6y ago> Sure, not 100% of the games will work / some gestures may be wonky That probably includes the vast majority of games that you would want to play on a desktop system: the ones with perceived console quality. Nowhere is this more evident than in Apple Arcade. It has cross platform games. About none of them have any appeal for a desktop gamer. Non-ported mobile games? They will have even less appeal. Except some casual games like Monument Valley. > there are some unique iOS games that were never ported to a Mac Once again, the vast majority of those will most likely be very foreign on a desktop OS.
