5k, sounds about right.

Also, what a horrible site that is with autoplaying videos with audio.

I don't get it. Don't you first need top quality games for such a gaming PC? From what I have seen, games on Apple Arcade aren't that advanced.

 

I'm guessing top quality games can be ported to macOS. Mac chess isn't so hot. Grand Theft Auto Vampire Zombie Apocalypse may be good on Mac though.

 

I am not interested in buying that computer, but I wonder whether it will use AMD or Nvidia GPU. Also I wonder whether OS will include driver from GPU AMD/Nvidio or in-house developed driver. In the past mac OS GPU drivers were not on par with i.e. Nvidia drivers for Windows.

 

With so much money on the bank, they could simply buy a company like EA.

Apple wouldn't buy EA, they make free games lol.

 

The Witcher 4 is in the works, so maybe cd projekt red will port it to mac OS. I think new games and games that are in the works have a highest chance to be ported to mac OS.

 

I think Apple want to be more established in the lucrative games market.

 

If Apple wants this project to succeed there must be published large variety of games for mac OS.

 

I think they're working on it.

 

I bet they are. I think they must make many partnerships in videogame industry.

 

It would be a logical move for Apple. I doubt there will be similar developments with Linux.

 

Valve had similar developments for Gnu/Linux This didn't increase dramatically Gnu/Linux popularity, but Steam client for Gnu/Linux and several games are still there and from time to time some new AAA game is created for its users.

 

I can only imagine it's all to do with money and development costs. Linux distros are diverse and lack the capital so there isn't sufficient motivation. This shouldn't be a problem with Apple.

 

Ecosystem of consumers, store(s) with games, game developers, developers who create tools for game developers, hardware makers especially peripheral devices makers. OS also must include high-quality and high-performance GPU drivers.

 

Apple seem to be pushing Arcade a bit.
