> Disagree. My argument is that Apple have been ignoring it pretty much completely.
Worse than ignorning really. Games for windows from years ago largely still work. Games for Mac Os X don't because Apple regularly breaks compatability. This means the long tail of late sales won't happen without more developer effort, which isn't usually available.

I second toast0's point. Apple didn't ignore desktop gaming, they actively gave the middle finger to the whole community, repeatedly, and iOS was the only bridge that was thrown to restore some kind of decent relationship.
See nvidia basically banned from the macos ecosystem, or the whole fight with Epic as they couldn't come to any resemblance of a compromise.
