Why is everyone so against gaming on the Mac?
I ask this question after reading quite a few posts from long time members on this forum pretty much saying in their own words: Only game on a Mac if you have to. But it is far from the best option. It makes me think these comments are trying to tell people do not game on the Mac.
I game on my Mac. Always have. And with Steam for Mac, the new App store coming in January, bootcamp and the many developers (indie and mainstream) creating games for Mac there is a lot of choice. Sure I agree if you want squeeze every last fps from your games then a home build windows rig is best. But for just having fun playing games, the Mac does very well. Get one with a decent dedicated GPU and you're laughing.
I think gaming on the Mac is just fine. And I recommend it before TV console gaming for the Mac owners. Cause no extra Hardware to purchase.
But really I want to know why is everyone (on this forum and elsewhere) so against gaming on the Mac?
