Realistically it's way easier to just build a mini PC or get a $600 gaming laptop if you want to play games and also use MacOS. This is good for tinkering but at the end of the day you want to have a good experience... rather than endless debugging, input lag, frame drops, and tearing.

      To be fair – when your license is set to expire you do get a limited window (2 weeks before and after it seems per my 2023 copy) to renew at 50% off.

  You can get a free open source alternative like Whisky https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky

      FWIW it still works and I doubt it'll stop working any time soon. Maybe for games released a year from now it won't be feasible

  To clarify for the people questioning the price: it’s $74 for the version with free upgrades for one year. The “Lifetime” version with updates forever is $494.
