Imagine buying an expensive mac thinking you can game on it. :kek:

Any chance you'll open up ESO to Nvidia's GFN service? This would open up the game to a LOT more platforms.

And those acting like they know what a mac actually is - Apple screwed up here, I won't be buying another one again - and yes. I game at 4k on my current mac. It was cheaper than a windows PC that could do the same.

imagine having a mac

Macs aren't for gaming. Even apple thinks so, apparantly.

If you play games, don't buy a mac. If you do buy a mac, don't expect to be able to play games on it.

Apple just completely obliterated the one and only smart Mac decision they have ever actually made in the last 40 years. I find it to just be hilarious. I have no idea what they would hope to gain from such a stupid decision. Well who are we kidding, they will lose, not gain. Which is what they deserve. They are one PATHETICALLY arrogant little me too company with great marketing to the technologically ignorant and nothing more.

They're doing it for one very simple reason: they want more money. If they make their own CPUs, it's less of a share of the sale price that has to be paid out in advance to a third-party hardware manufacturer. If Apple makes their own CPUs and, invariably, also their own GPUs, then they retain full control of their "ecosystem" and their capability for squeezing out every last penny from their customers utilizing it.

Honestly this shouldn't surprise anybody who's paid the least bit of attention to computers in the last 40 years. It's a big change from an architectural standpoint, but it's Apple being Apple in a wider philosophical context, and so not a change at all. Microsoft going open-source was a bigger paradigm shift than Apple going x86.

nice

It's not entirely about the money. It's largely to unify their platforms across all devices. ARM was developed as a low power processor for devices and smartphones. By developing an ARM laptop/desktop processor they're making it easier for their phone app economy to be accessible across all apple products.

Their market is productivity and casual users. While game compatibility will be smaller, their app store games will still work fine. It's not like Microsoft is going to drop Office Mac support either because they'd then risk ceding that market share to whatever alternative Apple has. In other words they aren't really losing anything by this change while gaining quite a bit, in cost savings and a more unified environment. In some ways Macs might now have MORE access to games going forward than they had before.

Sucks for people who want to play PC games..... but lets be serious, most popular PC games are ported console games anyways. We're really not as big a market as we want to believe we are.

PC games have and will allways rule. Consoles are for dum dums or kids that don't know how to save money.
