    macOS has no games. Apple: “here’s gaming mode!”

    There is actually so much in Sonoma and tied to its release. Apple’s GPTK makes 90% of PC games playable. Sonoma also brings a slew of improvements to general rendering.

      Yea, but most of the work was done by Valve and the open source community, not Apple

      Using GPTK through Whiskey enabled me to play the Portal games again, games I’ve been unable to play since Apple ditched all 32 bit support and Steam didn’t see the value in updating them. It’s wonderful.
