    Nah, didn’t really happen. The chip updates are cool. I feel like… owning a beefy Macbook Pro and then running Windows might be the best deal for “Mac Gaming” ;)

    The rumor with Sony and adding the streaming to Mac sounds super cool. I doubt it would happen, but with the partnership Sony seems to have with Apple, I hope they plan to do something.

      Ugh, I don’t want Apple to focus on video game streaming.

      It’s just another layer of lock-in.

    Y’all are focusing only on the Mac market when you should be focusing on the IPHONE MARKET! The same iPhone that can play games like Resident Evil. Having someone who only owns an iPhone being able to play a ray traced resident evil is insanity

    One can dream… If Apple teams up with Nintendo than that would be brilliant news.

    It’s not inconceivable, the Switch runs on ARM silicon anyway. If Apple is allowed to port to Apple Silicon than that opens up a huge new market for Nintendo. Apple has Arcade in place for smaller titles and Mac for headliners… Sign me up now.

    If they do this to announce Hideo Kojima again then… well, let’s just say that the last few events have been underwhelming to say the least.

      than that opens up a huge new market for Nintendo.

      Way back in 1990 or so, the original id Software team was able to port Super Mario Bros. 3 onto the PC. They sent it to Nintendo, who responded with saying they had no interest in the PC business. That stance has never changed, and I doubt it will now.

      Nintendo may be using an ARM chip, but more importantly, it’s an Nvidia chip, and that’s probably a bigger lock-in than the CPU ISA. Besides, Nintendo wants cheap. Doesn’t make sense for Apple.

    If anyone could partner with Nintendo is Apple but I very much doubt they’ll do that. Nintendo is very old fashioned and extremely protective of their IPs, maybe is something with Sony.

    This seems like the millionth time I’ve heard about “gaming on the Mac.” I’ll believe it when it happens.

    M3 Apple TV with active cooling, 1tb SSD, and a game controller for $299 would be very interesting.

    If Apple wanted to break into gaming in the long run, they should also go for kids. They could probably buy the Humongous Entertainment IP pretty cheap. Imagine Remasters of Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, & Pajama Sam with new Backyard Sports games. They could even make shows on Apple TV. and then in 10 years, all those kids will be used to Mac gaming and stick around for Triple A games
