It's like the mirror image of a guy who came to a filmmaking subreddit asking whether the clearly gamer PC he was looking at, would be good at editing 4k/6k video.

Answer was overwhelmingly, 'well, you COULD by doing thus and so, kinda, or just get an M1 Mac?'

I'm thoroughly OK with people playing games made for PCs on PCs. Knock yourselves out. It's a big industry. I'm not in it. :)

I remember, years ago, being quite envious of people playing Space Engineers (if I remember the name correctly). Years later, I never did get to play Space Engineers, so I did other stuff. Basically none of it was game stuff. I'm cool with that.


Mac computers are more capable than they have been for a long time, if ever. All it takes is for a developer to have the will to make it work on Mac.

Recent game releases for Mac include: - Lies of P - Baldurs Gate 3

Soon - Resident Evil 4

Slightly older release - Resident Evil Village

Maybe Valve just can't hack it? They also flamed out on their VR support a few years back, only releasing a few betas before they gave up and cancelled the whole thing.


I play the full Blizzard suite on my Mac. It's nice that some game makers support the platform.


... how exactly are you playing diablo 4? Blizzard did not ship osx support for it. Another in a long line of 'The Blizzard you loved is dead.'


The same way Steam Deck users do, with Wine based tools

I've done this on my steamdeck as well, but knowing how shitty blizzards 'warden' is it seems like a risk.

However that doesn't change my point, the op said:

> I play the full Blizzard suite on my Mac. It's nice that some game makers support the platform.

I'm simply pointing out that that blizzard is gone, diablo4 is not native on the mac.
