Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers - Lemmy.world

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?

Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market

Is this even true? I thought more people used Android phones?

Perhaps you mean in the US, I hear things are different there.

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.
