I have a question about… Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It’s for my wife, though. Lol!
She has a very old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I’m looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I’m looking into a MacBook of some sort.
The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We’re talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.
There have been a few cases where developers “port” their games to Mac by wrapping them in Wine.
Apple used Wine in their Game Porting Toolkit: https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/Game_Porting_Toolkit
It will require some finagling, but it’s about as good as you will get for running windows only games on Mac.
Also games built for Intel Macs should be able to be run thanks to Rosetta.
