I believe this especially after looking at Apples returns from Silicon the past few quarters. Massive gains.

"50% of Customers Purchasing a Mac in Q2 2022 Were New Mac Users. Since the launch of the first Apple silicon Macs in November 2020, Apple has continued to see strong growth in Mac sales. Apple's Mac revenue hit $10.4 billion in Q2 2022, up from $9.1 billion in the year-ago quarter."

I would point out that that's strictly revenue, but considering that the M1 series was introduced at the low-end it probably does mean a significant uplift in sales.

However, it doesn't necessarily mean that people are dumping their PC, just getting a MacBook Air for other purposes. Generally the people who can afford a Mac probably can afford a gaming PC as well.

And then factor in Apple's commitments to gaming on Silicon from the last WWDC.

Apple brings up gaming at nearly every WWDC and it never amounts to anything. They can't do a damned thing unless 3rd parties get on board, and they've never been able to goad 3rd parties into treating the Mac as a viable platform.

The market is flipping and I even was on the verge of going back to PC permanently until last years refresh.

Be careful of confirmation bias. You can't just project your experience onto everyone or the market as a whole. I'd be absolutely shocked if the Mac grabs even 30% of the total PC market, let alone even 10% of computers on Steam.

We may get an M1 optimized app after all and much more if sales continue.

No way, not from Valve. They took forever to update the window buttons from the gel-like OSX Leopard buttons to the flat-style Mavericks buttons. Their chat windows still have the wrong buttons on them.

If Valve isn't willing to put in the effort for simple window buttons, what on Earth makes you think they'd make a native M1 app?

No, it's far, far more likely they'll drop support entirely once Rosetta 2 sunsets. Valve only made a MacOS version of Steam as a stepping stone to support Linux in the first place.

Now 41.44% of Mac users on Steam use Apple Silicon. It's a matter of time before we get a fully native ARM client.

Can I get a source for this?

Why ask me? Just go to Steam hardware statistics for June: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/processormfg/

I think the solution will be to have an Intel client and an ARM client since many Mac users will still have Intel for some more years and most of the games are still x86 ports.

Huh, I haven't read the Steam survey in awhile so I dind't know it had more recent results. I'll be damned.

That would be the ideal solution, yes. But I have no faith in Valve to support MacOS into the future.

It's 2024 and I'm still hoping for a ARM client!

Sorry Gabe, but no.

Macs are somewhat underrepresented by the Steam use data I think. Without Proton for Mac I am running Parallels, which works great for Microsoft Office and older PC games prior to DirectX 12, and for newer games I am running CrossOver.

So my profile Steam profile shows that I'm using 1 ARM based Mac, and 2 PCs for Steam (1 ARM based and 1 Intel).

If Windows is the ultimate and only viable gaming OS then why did Steam make the Steam Deck based on Linux?

Windows no limits? You mean the same Windows that gets more overhead the more cores/threads you have?

The same Windows limited to NTFS a file system from 1993 with no data integrity protections or modern features to speak of?

The sam WIndows that doesn't support long file path names? The same Windows lacking multi threaded file browsing/transfers resulting in them making a CLI tool for big file operations?

Right........ sure....
