Because people use their computers for more than just gaming, and there are a lot of Macs out there. I have Steam installed on my MacBook, and I can’t remember the last time I played a game on it.
Eh, I use Steam occasionally on my macbook, and it works reasonably well for my intended use: taking breaks at work. I didn’t choose to have a Mac, that’s just standard issue for my team, but my boss is cool with me running Steam games on it from time to time provided I get my work done.
However, games just don’t run well on macOS, even with official support. The CPU just isn’t as powerful as my desktop, so I can’t play heavy strategy games, and the GPU isn’t much to write home about, so the few graphics-intensive games are out too. So I mostly play casual and story-heavy games on it, but only like once every other week or so.
99% of my gaming is on my Steam Deck or my Linux desktop, I only use macOS for a small game here and there (usually Risk or a visual novel or something).
Nice but I’m surprised it took this long when Apple is doing its best to make OSX the worst possible platform for gaming.
