For gaming. I guess that matters to some people. Those people have never been Mac buyers so that is no change.

- Mindwipe 4y agoThat's fundamentally not true. If someone is a hardcore gamer then they probably weren't buying Macs, but most customers do a bit of everything, and I would wager a very significant percentage of Mac users want to game a bit. But major gaming studios like Blizzard who have normally made Mac versions of their titles are abandoning the Mac now. Epic is banned. The great white (and always misguided) hope that iOS games would come en-masse has not panned out at all. The library has been decimated by the withdrawal of 32bit support. Metal is not gaining development traction. Boot Camp is no longer an option. The software story for the Mac is getting worse not better, and that is a problem for Apple.
- pbronez 4y agoYeah I agree with this. I’ve used MacOS for a while and am intrigued by Apple Silicon. But for the prices they’re charging, I need it to do everything. I don’t game much, but I do want to game _some_. I’m thinking about going back to Windows and learning into WSL where needed. If that gets annoying, I’ll go full Linux and put Windows in a VM. I’m not excited at all about Window 11’s telemetry, advertising, and general infestations by Microsoft tendrils. Still, Windows 10 is pretty good from a productivity standpoint. I figure I should be able to configure things to keep annoyances under control.
