You'll hear it a lot more over 2 or 4 years until you just totally ignore it, then wake up one day to notice while you were sleeping, lots of gamers are on Mac.

@@freecivweb4160 I’ve already been hearing it so long that at this point I only emulate retro games and Mac has me covered. 😂

Low supply creates high demand. The first few 5-star AAA hits that sell big on Mac (because of lower competition) will open a flood gate. That's their hope, and seems smart, but requires careful steps to get there.

Apple is about UX so you're half right. But forgetting their not stamping the Apple logo on 24% of games being slow or buggy. That's why it's called EVALUATION on purpose.

The 30% is no joke and everyone knows it. But you are forgetting hardware sales. People decide on hardware based on availability of software titles.

Time changes truth.

App store sales, big win. Translation layer "just working" also a big win as it establishes gamer-readiness and prestige for the platform, which leads to more app store games in the future.

It's not abiut that. Switching game from Direct X to Metal and optimalization is a lot more work.

4000$ entry level flagship laptop for RTX 2060 performance lol apple That's why less game on apple Get a zephyrus G16 2024 OLED and have 2 to 3x raster performance even unplugged and many times ray tracing and many many infinite times AI TOPS with the most beautiful display ever to exist: OLED that kills apple's ancient tech ips LCD mini-led blooming motion blur slow response ghosting nightmare 120hz that looks like 60hz. Apple silicon is also a marketing gimmick like the SSD storage and ram scam hell even apple entirely means scam lol...

The error was your "help" and said all you need to know. Sequoia is not an official release yet.

I think there are way more people in this boat than Apple realizes.

@@hewhoisknownastaco Way more than way more.

Proton-like translation layer its the way how to do OpenGL calls from Direct calls. Its not the way how to run x86 game on arm CPU. Steam Deck -- it's a x86 machine; Proton + Wine its the way how to run games inside Steam ecosystem without Windows and DirectX. If u want, you can run these games natively on Steam Deck -- without any translations layers using Windows. Run Windows x86 games on Mac natively, without any barriers -- it's impossible. Crossover also use Rosetta 2 to run games. Do something to avoid significant loss of game performance while u use translation layer -- is not impossible. For example, developers can precompile shaders, and use other optimizations to improve game performance while it run using translation layer. But this strategy requires time and a little effort from the developers.

@@user-dx3ts5yk5o A Proton-like translation layer, similar to what’s used in Game Porting Toolkit translates DirectX calls to Metal, not OpenGL. Apple dropped support for OpenGL a while ago. Rosetta is responsible to translating x86 code to Arm.

Yeah Microsoft puts customers first. They'd never have the mantra "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" like Apple. Oops, I got that wrong, that's the Microsoft mantra. Hmmm, you got me confused. Are you sure what you're talking about?

@@freecivweb4160 Do you know what you’re talking about?😂 I never mentioned MS once in my comment. Maybe you posted your comment under the wrong video? Or maybe you just like defending a trillion dollar company. I’m going to take a wild guess and assume you own two iPhones, two Macs, three Apple TVs and recently bought an Apple Vision Pro.

@@Roach22 I was indeed replying to you. You seem to be under a common myth Apple doesn't put customers first. Well it's a tie for first between profits and customers. A fine line to walk. This is unlike Microsoft or Google or any other company in a comparable space who is definitely profit-first. As a hardware-centric company with higher production costs for much higher quality, it's a common myth that Apple is "me first" over profits because of the higher prices. Anyone with slightly better knowledge of the industry knows that "cost of ownership" indices are lower for Apple when counting in lost time, replacement cycle costs, reliability and device longevity. The REASON Apple is a multi-trillion dollar company is indeed that that "customer first" is tied-for-first position with profit. Which is hard to pull off in any publicly traded C-corp. Microsoft reached trillion-dollar status by the now infamous "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" policy. And Google by offering everything 'free' with mostly invisible unawareness of brokering your data to numerous entities and making themselves the liaison temp agency selling its customer data to others without them (mostly) knowing about it. Latest wireshark tests showing 19MB per day. I don't even know how much or what kinda data needs 19MB and we can't analyze it because it's FAR MORE walled garden than anything Apple does. Each model is interesting but I prefer to pay the money up-front for a quality long-lasting device that is customer first. And no, I don't have a Vision Pro. 🤪
