This.
Apple in the past couple of years was all like, "oh look, gaming on macOS is good now".
I can run a 1995 game OOB on my Windows laptop in 2025.
My question is: on macOS, what's the actual market for casual games, like most of what's on Apple Arcade - especially against iOS? What's the market for the few AAA titles they promote - vs Windows?
People want their existing libraries. With Arm64 in the way, developers who up until now only had to target x86, will care even less. Factorio only cared because they already had a Switch port underway: <https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-371 https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-371>
Dropping Rosetta2 will be the final nail in the coffin. If Apple did actually care about games, they would strike a deal with Codeweavers to integrate Crossover directly with the system.
Maybe I'll finally get a proper Windows gaming machine.
