Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb.

Can you provide one real world example? An older Windows game that works better on Mac than on Windows?
I will also add that 2015 is a random number. Win10 easily handles anything after 2005 or so. It’s the pre 2005 games that often require some deal of research.

I’ve heard of some edge cases where Wine is now a better option than native windows for really weirdly built 2000s era games. But overall most won’t run better since they have to run in a compatibility layer. The point is they do run and my computer isn’t just for gaming. Using windows is annoying af for the other 8 hours I’d spend working and losing some FPS in highend games is worth it.
