It's not so much a worry, it's more that I see a massive opportunity for Apple there as a user-centric computer company.Misfit wrote: Thu Nov 05, 2026 11:31 am 0I'm not sure we have to worry too much about Indies doing Mac versions, the world is moving fast and getting PC games running on the Macs is getting easier and the options wider.
Let's face it, given that prices remained high for GPUs after the Crypto fad, I very much doubt we're going to see prices comes down when AI slips out of the zeitgeist. So the BYO culture for PC gaming is going to become less and less attainable for Joe Public, and more a hobby for the wealthy (if you can get one, RTX 5090 cards are currently over $15,000!)
And there's no financial sense in making games for such a tiny minority; so there's the potential for Apple to really capture a larger percentage of the PC gaming market.
Yes, a MacBook, iMac or Mac Mini isn't exactly cheap. But as noted, comparably, they are looking more and more attractive when compared to the costs associated with building a gaming PC.
Only thing is, Apple's relationship with game devs and gamers in general has always been... "frosty", to say the least.
Anyway, TLDR, Apple is the only one of the Big 7 tech companies still focussing on making individual machines for individuals. And in this modern world, their traditionally "expensive" hardware is increasingly attractive.
