.... You don't need Wine to install Steam, you have a 64bit Mac version of Steam on Mac, just download the client from the main site.

The main thing is that i want to play Windows-only games on mac, without using bootcamp or a virtual machine. For that i saw that you can download the Windows version of steam, run it on mac, allowing you to play windows-only games, and all of this by Wine. But seems that it doesn't work anymore...

You can't run Wine on MacOS. MacOS doesn't let you compile anything natively. MacOS has an ancient terrible version of OpenGL. MacOS is also removing OpenGL entirely probably within 1-2 years. Meaning all your native Mac games will stop working soon

Apple hates you. Apple hates devs. Apple hates games.

Either install Linux, or Windows that's your best option.
