Use Wine or Bootcamp. Something like that to play Windows games.

No, it does not. Never has.

Sure it does, because you have to buy Windows. Wine is free though.

A Windows license is optional and Bootcamp itself is free. Do not spread misinformation.

The problem with Wine is it doesn't work on newer MacOS versions because it's still 32-bit (as far as I'm aware) Bootcamp could work, or you could try Parallels. Hope this helps.

You might also wish to try the unofficial wineskin winery, or porting kit...

It's not misinformation, Windows licenses are not free. Unless you're advocating piracy? I sure hope not.

Wine has been 64-bit for ages and works on newer Macs just fine. You can even run 32-bit Windows games on 64-bit Wine through some wizardry, though apparently that has performance issues on MX Macs.

Of course i'm not. But you can install and use Windows without a license. With a few limitations though.
You can download Windows ISOs for free from the Microsoft homepage.
