    Apple can’t even be arsed to support games that were released on their own platform like 5 years ago. Why would they suddenly start bothering to support games released for other platforms?

      To be fair they did move to a completely different CPU architecture and ARM is a hit or miss in gaming. Some games are fine, but then there are ones like Minecraft that ran better on my 10 year old Intel than on a top of the line M processor

          Is moving to ARM architecture anti-user? They easily accomplished the (correct me if I’m wrong) best energy efficiency between all available laptops in the market. Granted, it was never marketed for gaming.

            Yes it’s anti-user because

            1: they seem to have broken compatibility with a lot of existing software

            2: they just use the efficiency improvements to make shit thinner.

              Okay, so

              1. Rosetta 2 largely fixed that, for whereever it was feasible to fix. It came out as soon as ARM Macbooks did.

              2. They actually made their shit thicker. The M1 Pro/Max MBP is thicker than the 2016+ Intel ones were.

              I had an M1 Air, the battery lasted like 20 hours. Most I’ve gotten off any non-Apple laptop has been 6-7.
