Yeah, no.

    I’m not sure why you’d have an iPhone if you don’t have a Mac

    iPhones outsell MacBooks something like 10:1. The majority of people with iPhones, if they are playing games not on their phone, are using consoles and/or PC’s.

      Oh yeah, I’m aware. But the value proposition of an iPhone doesn’t make sense to me if you don’t also have a Mac.

        I guess that depends. A lot of flagship phones are reaching $1k+ these days, and I rely on my phone for a TON of things. I need the support, battery life, and I enjoy the Apple ecosystem (not just my MacBook, but the watch and AirPods too). I’ve found it made sense for me. I guess the value of things really depends on the buyer’s perspective.

          Wait, so you do have a Macbook. Maybe it’s not M1, but if you enjoy that part of the ecosystem, you’ll probably upgrade to one at some point. At which point, that gives you a “Mac copy” of the game too.

            Oh, yeah. Sorry if I didn’t mention that. I have an M1 Pro. I still wouldn’t play the game on my MacBook. I have an ultra wide screen and there’s no way my Mac would run the game well. I have a gaming desktop that is much more suitable for desktop gaming.

              Heh, honestly, this is the problem with Apple’s value proposition when it comes to gaming. You’ll see elsewhere in this thread that I don’t think Apple has shown they know how to really make a solid gaming offering, and this is a large part of why.
