> It's funny, when people denigrate the worst gaming platform in the world as a "toy computer."

When did toys become a bad thing?

"Worst gaming platform in the world" may be something of an exaggeration - Apple Arcade isn't bad, and Macs can also run many iPad games.

Good point, but many Mac users are not aware of just How. Damn. Good. games play on gaming rigs. It's like being in a movie.

Many console gamers aren't aware of how [well] games play on PC gaming rigs, or they don't care, and are happy to play games on Switch/PS4/PS5/Xbox.

Apple may very well be targeting mobile and console gamers rather than PC gamers with gaming rigs.

Personally I would definitely enjoy playing on a high-end gaming PC (especially as GPUs become easier to find at MSRP), but I already have a Mac and a PS5.

I wouldn't mind more of my Steam library working on macOS though.
