I used to boot into Windows on my 2009 Mac Pro in order to play PC games. With plenty of RAM and the possibility to upgrade the GPU, this was a viable solution up until a few years ago.

However, since the passing of Steve Jobs, gaming on the Mac has been deliberately ignored, with seriously underpowered computers and no interest whatsoever in working with game developers. Even Mac gaming stalwart Blizzard finally gave up on the Mac platform, when their new Overwatch title literally could not run decently on any available Mac.

Moving to ARM might not affect the business side in any drastic way, but every single person wanting to play new AAA PC games will be forced to either buy two computers  or to ditch the Mac altogether. Considering how many young people (and quite a few older) are into games, this seems to me like a major loss of opportunity. It's even more bizarre given Apple's apparent recognition of the importance of games on their mobile platform. But I guess they believe Apple users are more interested in Candy Crush than in Overwatch.
