I could keep doing this. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of games on Steam that started on mobile.

Not that this matters because the entire fucking point is that NO, Macs aren’t “unable to run games because ARM” when almost all mobile games run on ARM and they get ported to non-ARM processors ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Are Linux users just unable to think beyond what’s literally in front of them?

True though point being here Steam is a PC platform so it doesn’t have ARM games, it has ports of them. So yes, unless you use some kind of emulator, ARM Macs won’t run Steam games let alone Steam.

…are… you… fucking trolling?

Do you not know what a port is? Are you not aware that numerous modern game engines don’t even need to be ported, they just run on multiple platforms?

Macs being ARM based has FUCKING NOTHING TO DO with there being few games for the platform.

Apple has never courted game developers. They have never been about absolute gaming power. They’re about developers, media production, and general use audiences. They do not build gaming computers. Any gaming capability is ancillary to their actual business model.

If a developer doesn’t see a potential ROI on porting a game to Apple silicon, they won’t. It’s that simple.
