fne8w2ahLinux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
Honestly Apple sucks for not providing proper support for video games. People buy 3k usd laptops and can’t run videos games on it because of lacking software. I don’t understand how anyone with get invested with their VR when the hardware will be held hostage to whatever the overlords find it fit for.
Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market, so that’s probably why they don’t seem to be in any hurry to seriously support the PC gaming space.
They tend to focus hard on niches they can overcome, and PC/console gaming is a little too established for them to stick their toes in. They tried with the Pippin and the pre-Halo era of gaming, but it didn’t work out for them.
If the Apple headset takes off, they may start pushing harder for VR game support, but who knows?

Is this even true? I thought more people used Android phones?
Perhaps you mean in the US, I hear things are different there.
FoxBJKApple might be getting all the profit, but I really wouldn’t compare iOS gamers to Steam gamers. Feels like vastly different use cases for the types of games people buy (unless there’s people out there playing Candy Crush on a deck, which…. Why??)
Mobile game devs are making their games with iOS in mind, because iPhone users are more likely to pay.
Good point. I’m not sure what you’re arguing, though.
Even in the US it’s not “cornered,” it’s 53% iOS, 45% Android and 1% other.
It’s more useful to look at sales dollars in this context. Apple absolutely dominates in most desirable markets at its chosen price bracket.
