Linux overtakes Mac in Steam's July hardware report, with the Steam Deck and its popularity looking like a likely motivator.

And the Vision Pro ain’t gonna save Mac gaming either.

Even if Apple magically did everything right for gaming on Mac, I wouldn’t be inclined to use the client Steam built for Mac.

I did try gaming in a Mac, and it seems like Apple was trying everything to make it as unpleasant as possible (e.g., the opengl fiasco).

I’ve been using Mac for decades and have yet to have a particularly pleasant gaming experience with it, although I don’t generally go looking for it anymore. Last I tried, I bought FF XIV “FOR MAC” and it couldn’t run on my MBP, which was the latest model at the time. It would run if I had an older OS running though. And to top it off, I wasn’t even allowed a refund for the mistake, because it was a problem with WINE and not square’s fault. I decided Mac games weren’t worth the frustration at that point.
