¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not according to steam, but regardless there are literally thousands of games that do not run on Macs so still an ignorant statement
I’m just curious of an example of a game or two you play that’s not available on Mac. There’s some newish tech that allows Macs to virtualize/emulate windows tech including DirectX 12. Not coming for you I’m just curious to test those waters.
(I don’t play computer games, sorry for not knowing)
Virtualization means it's not running on MacOS...
And, I don't have a Mac so definitely not something I pay any attention to, but it's pretty easy to see if a game on steam supports MacOS.
Far Cry 6 doesn't run on MacOS. I'd imagine most Ubisoft games don't.
Edit: oh, and Counter-Strike 2... Doesn't play on MacOS. Apparently I had to be specific about the "2" version.
I’ve been curious so here’s a list of tested games that do and don’t work:
