      Family sharing on the App Store is definitely more user friendly than even the revamped Steam family sharing feature, because it allows everyone to play the same game simultaneously

    Just finished Lies of P a few days ago. Magnificent game that is on par with FS titles, and runs like a dream on anything. I´d even advocate it was last year´s best port. Massively recommended.

    If real games keep coming to the app store… Won’t the iPad/Ecosystem become a better option than the steam deck one day? Great screen, easier to pack in the laptop sleeve in your bag and potentially longer battery due to the efficiency of M series?
    I haven’t seen a video comparing iPad and steamdeck performance yet. If M series chips eventually appear on apple tv, wouldn’t that also become a game console essentially?
    I feel like apple is in an excellent position to capitalize on their hardware with gaming and launching an ecosystem wide game service. I guess we’ll see.
    I’d also like to see battery tests of the iPad vs steamdeck too.

    I bought the Forgotten City and it runs poorly on my M3 Max, without even stressing it.
    The cursor capture is pretty bad as well. On fullscreen the mouse can actually go into my second monitor and click things while I'm trying to play. Borderless just stays in a window, and the cursor somehow gets stuck on top of the display and I can't look up. On windowed it seems to work just fine, although once the cursor was visible under the game cursor.
    The resolution is not the full resolution of my display. It uses the downscaled resolution macOS is using, so it doesn't look as crisp (2560x1440 on my 4k display, Minecraft uses the 'upscaled' resolution, runs at 5k and then downscales).

    I don't think it's a good idea to compare the price in mac app store to the current price tag on steam. There're chrome extensions available for you to retrieve historical lows and last discounts. With the ongoing sale, it's likely that you might find a game that's cheaper right now on mac app store. I mean if mac only users are not that into games in the past, it won't hurt if they wait a couple of months more to get the steam version at a more desirable price, unless there's a significant difference in performance, which I have absolutely no idea if it's actually the case here.

    I skip all Steam releases whatsoever. The current tech state of Steam for Mac arm64 is totally unacceptable. Also, running Steam games means substantial performance overhead because of multiple Steam x86_64 interoperability services running via Rosetta2, and also because of high RAM consumption by Steam and its services.
    Steam fans like to praise "flexibility" but forget to mention all these issues. I recommend buying Mac App Store versions at least for all users of base M chip Macs (non-Pro/Max), especially with 8 GB RAM
    Also a hint: if you want both cross-platform flexibility and zero overhead, just go for GOG versions and use standalone game installers. It's a shame though that GOG lacks some Mac games available on Steam and/or MAS

      Imagine playing games on Mac 🤣🤣🤣 If you can afford Mac, you can afford at least mid-range pc or Steam Deck. Telling as a Mac user for a decade. So there is no need to write a poem on YT to cry how bad Steam is working there. Get something that was made for games and stop inhaling copium.

      Steam for ARM works fine for me on my M2 Pro? But I only play No Mans Sky. Zero issues whatsoever. You just have a limited number of games in comparison. People try to download x86 games that say “Mac compatible” and then get confused when it doesn’t support it. No Man’s Sky runs like butter on Ultra settings 1440p.
