Gaming on Macs to suck less

Is Apple’s reign as the worst platform for gaming coming to an end?

Amid all the hype about their long-rumored VR/AR headset, which is slated for release in early 2024 (queueing outside the Apple Store starts in October), there are other signals that Apple might finally be sorting out its subpar gaming offering.

Gaming on a Mac really sucks. Lots of games – particularly indie and early release ones – are not compatible. Keyboard mapping can be funky. To this day, I have been unable to attach special tackles to my fishing rod (no, that is not innuendo) on the Mac edition of Stardew Valley.

With VR games, it’s even worse. If you want to spend hours watching YouTube videos, you can get most VR headsets to somewhat work with a Mac. But right now, the only one that is really officially compatible seems to be the HTC Vive.
