It's simple, Apple has never cared about gaming except for that 1 year you are talking about. They've done fuck all to get developers to target mac and it shows.

    I definitely don't remember any sort of golden era of mac gaming like that. I remember them announcing some games along with their Metal API's and that was about the end of that .

    I had a friend who gamed on a Mac for a while during that period, most games did work for her.

    I do think the M series chips set it back a bit because most games aren't targeting ARM, so you have to use Rosetta to emulate reducing performance
