What's the state of Mac gaming in 2019? Does anyone here unironically do it?

Yeah I play facebook games.

Poor, there is no Vulkan support and OpenGL is on its way out. Apple wants to force Metal and nobody wants to adopt it.

Last I heard about this Dobson was playing Skyrim at like 5FPS.
Levi Foster
Not anymore.
Jace Ward
What's so special about 10.9
Colton Carter
Literally shit. Games that run on them is a hit or miss. L4D2 for example, crashes every now and then with or without tweaking the settings. You can't troubleshoot because lol Apple software. I converted my siblings laptop to a double boot windows after that because the support is horrendous.
Brayden Hughes
Older OSs are getting support dropped.
I had to upgrade form Snow Leopard because firefox dropped it.
Aiden Ross
I know a guy which bought one to play league of legends
John Powell
Just stick to openemu.
Landon Reed
I don't see how that's in any way out of the norm
Anthony Peterson
It's why I stopped gaming on my computer and am sticking exclusively to console.
Logan Gutierrez
Steam dropped support for an OS that's 4 years old (mac os 10.10) that's way fast.
Brody Collins
What exactly is the problem with upgrading though?
Cooper Taylor
Everyone's going to link against github.com
Isaiah Long
Might be good for casual games once this comes out.

>according to Apple 8gb of 2666hz RAM and 1tb of HDD space are $200 each
Yikes!
Lucas Nelson
LMAO AHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's supported even worse than Ubuntu and its many forks.
Benjamin Nguyen
They're always overpriced as fuck.

>whats the state of mac gaming
Same as it was when macs were first made:
There isn't a mac gaming scene.
Owen Parker
The only game worth playing on pc Minecraft runs perfectly on my 2 machines.
Then I have a switch connected to it to play smash ultimate if I have friends over/some free time.

My steam link crashes my Mac because they no longer support 32 but libararies and I got a warning that steam needs a developer update to work on Mac for the near future. I think I’ll just game on my windows partition.

It's actually worse than Linux.
Steam Proton does not officially support MacOS.
I'm not sure about vanilla WINE, I haven't used WINE for a long time now.
To make matters worse, discrete graphics option is only available on very few high end (and very overpriced) mac models, and you're stuck with AMD on an OS that relies heavily on OpenGL.
If you're thinking of buying a high end Mac only for gaming, do yourself a favor: get a cheaper mac model, and use the remaining money to build a mid-high end Windows PC just for gaming.
Jacob Cruz
I installed Skyrim on my Air for keks and it actually ran really well.
Hunter Brooks
I play small shit on a mac laptop from time to time. Okay for small games, but that's it. It is a very good allrounder system for work, but using it as a main gaming system is clinically retarded.
However, keep in mind that there is no such thing as a good gaming laptop, and if you got memed into buying one you are a fucking idiot.

>overpaying for shitty hardware on a locked down system that lacks software from a company that hasn't innovated anything
Cooper Sanders
>that lacks software
like what

Black ops 3 got released on Mac recently and the trailer got like three comments.
So there's your answer.
Evan Garcia
Not Mac but I use Linux
Gaming is always going to be weaker on Linux than windows simply due to the smaller user share
But otherwise it’s stiol decent, most of the games I’d like to play I can without issue
Some others I need to finagle to get working
Anthony Butler
A lot of small miscellaneous stuff that small devs make. Xrecode (not even windows has an alternative that works as well) and a myriad of image batch downloaders would be good examples. Hydrus client for image viewing is another.
