Unfortunately for Apple, right now gaming on Linux is a better experience than gaming on Mac, which is really saying something. One has to wonder why Apple doesn’t take a page from Valve’s book and develop a compatibility layer for macOS like Valve’s Proton platform, which has brought hundreds of Windows games to Linux.
I guess PC Gamer hasn’t heard of Crossover or Whisky, both of which bring that functionality to Mac.
I think one of the largest issues with Mac gaming is the cost is higher if you only care about gaming. Why would you spend more to play on Mac when you could get the same performance for much cheaper. Right now the only market is single computer users that chose Mac first for other reasons that do not have a console for gaming.
There’s also the apple game kit or whatever they call it that like proton gives a proprietary wine cover (I know proton is open source but it has a proprietary dependency)

Whisky development folded like a month or two ago, unfortunately.
