      @@The_MEMEphis Never say never ;D Ppl said that about Linux for the longest time, and now Linux is actually surpassing Windows performance all accross the board, and we now even have our own dedicated pc/console gaming handheld (Steam Deck). Macs can do gaming just fine tbh, you just have to treat the plattform like a gaming console, because that's the type of approach that Apple has taken with their hard- and software combination. Hey, if even low-powered devices like the Nintendo Switch can do gaming just fine, then surely a high-end iMac can do that too, right?
      Macs are for productivity - AND they can also be used for gaming just fine.

    Hi. Thanks for this list. I recently felt like I could dive back into gaming, but I want to do it with minimal commitment. So, this list is handy to me, being solely an Apple user. One question: Do any of these games support the super ultrawide 32:9 aspect ratio or DQHD?

    Also is it possible to relocate the position of the Metal HUD or even resize them?

    Could you test (Rosetta) games with Low Power mode for performance and how much battery you would get? (or just what the total system draw is, you can kinda extrapolate from that)
    Alternatively, you could run games at maybe Medium ~800p with a frame cap of 60 (or Vsync, but it would go to 120Hz unless you adjust it down)?
    Or both. (and maybe a comparison between Pro and Max)
