> The interesting question would be: out of all Mac users, how many of them play games on their Macs?
...and how many would play more games on their Macs if they were available?
I refuse to believe Mac users are less fond of videogames. Based on my personal observation of the Mac users I know, they enjoy games as much as anyone.
At least casual games on iTunes for the iPad have a vast library, with many genuine good games (source: me, my iPad 2 was mainly a gaming platform for me, never found other uses for it).
I do realize more complex games are a different beast. But casual? I'd say Apple fans love them.
I have no idea what the answer is. Personally I have run a number of games on macOS, via Steam, and via Boot Camp and virtualization. Some popular MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, and Eve Online have macOS clients, though Guild Wars 2 discontinued theirs.
Apple Arcade apparently has enough Mac users that Apple has a reason to support it on macOS as well as iOS.
And Apple apparently has some reason to support iOS/iPadOS games on Apple Silicon Macs as well (though it could just be a side effect of a future iOS-macOS merger or hybrid device.)
