> At this point, it's easier to just buy an iMac and boot into Windows to play games. I've personally had really bad luck doing this. The Mac Windows drivers seem to be very sub-par, and my recent Macbook heats up like an oven and the fans go nuts. I've only attempted to play a few games on a 2011 iMac, but the performance hasn't been very good as a whole (TF2, StarCraft 2) and there still appear to be heat issues. Meanwhile, I can fire up my 2010 gaming rig and play brand new AAA titles without so much as a stutter in Windows, and performance is decent under Linux as well. As far as the games I have purchased on Steam, I actually have more that are compatible with Linux than Mac OS. I just don't think gaming has been a high priority for Mac OS (they make a ton of money with it on iOS). They seem to be very sluggish about updating their GPU drivers, and they fell pretty far behind in OpenGL support (10.9 is supposed to bump this up a little).
