  • Game Mode isn't enough to bring gaming to macOS, and Apple needs to do more

    Remember when these 2 guys, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, while working for some gaming company called Atari created a single-player version of Pong in 4 days?  Remember a game called Dark Castle?  Remember when Steve Jobs presented Halo at MacWorld 1999?  Bungie was one of the best game developers for Apple.  Remember Marathon?  Another amazing game developer for Apple was a small company called Blizzard.  Until they merged with Activision, the level of support for gaming on our beloved Macs was second to none.  Oh wait, remember when Microsoft stepped in and acquired Bungie and killed Halo on the Mac?  Remember when Microsoft stepped in and purchased Blizzard?  It's great that Apple loves music, movies and our wonderful creatives but ignoring gaming has been one of the biggest reasons we've seen a decline in Macintosh sales.  Removing Boot Camp and further ignoring the gaming market is short sighted for a company with the level of resources they have at their disposal.  Be brave Apple and acquire Sony or Nintendo and compete!
