If they were truly serious about any kind of AAA gaming on the Mac they’d have defaulted the RAM to 16GB rather than hobbling the base (and most sold) model with 8GB.

Caveat: Apple uses unified memory with the M series computers. Unified memory can access the CPU and GPU at the same time. DDR memory cannot and has to split up the RAM between the CPU and GPU. So a computer using 8GB of unified memory is going to perform significantly better than what you would expect from an 8GB DDR system. 

This is where Apple has always been headed since Apple Arcade was originally announced. I'm not sure why so many people didn't understand the significance of Arcade emphasizing the ability to play the games across all of Apple's hardware. The only difference is that the AAA style titles are leaving Apple TV off of the compatibility list right now. I would imagine that Vision Pro can still easily fit into the gaming mix with the new screen capabilities for displaying Mac-based content in visionOS 2. 

elijahg said: The Apple Vision Pro is really cool, but apart from playing around with the 3D-ness and watching movies, what can it actually do better than a Mac that’s worth the £3500? 

 How many screens do you have for your Mac? And what size/resolution are they? What's the size of your flat screen TV? How portable are your computer screens and your flat screen TV? How much do all of those screens cost combined? How much physical material do they use?

Rule of thumb: don't digitally increase the size of photos more than 200% or you'll get the weird blurry pixel/vector hybrid look that the Cook/Cue photos have. 

"The payment policy of Apple adversely affects the app developers, users and other payment processors."

Reality: Apple's payment policy terms are not unusual relative to what 3rd parties offer.
