Besides, iOS pulls in more revenue for Apple than does Steam for Valve. Apple doesn't gain much by targeting gamers on macOS.
Hey HN! And welcome to a hill I'm willing to die on. I've been teaching myself basic HTML/JS/CSS to begin my webdev journey and this is the first project I've put together. It was recommended to me to make a project I'm passionate about so that I'm motivated to keep learning and get something real out there. Well here it is: SkyrimOnMacWhen.com! Its been far too long since Skyrim came out for there to be no release f…
if you wanted something fun to do server-side, you could calculate #skyrimCounter and bake it into the html rather than displaying a noscript error
I love this and I hope someone at Bethesda sees it. Unfortunately, I think the odds of Bethesda releasing anything for non Microsoft platforms in the future is approaching zero. It is an interesting development that AAA gaming is becoming nearly an all first party affair with the acquisitions and consolidation that have happened over the past couple of years. We are already at the point where for the most part only i…

With Apple’s switch to Intel, there was much more support for porting games to Mac. Unfortunately, since Apple overpriced commodity Intel hardware, Macs were noticeably underpowered especially when compared to PC desktops, which was made even slower due to the lack of video card options. It made no sense to play games on a slower system. And that is how the idea of playing non-iOS games on a Mac died. I am happy to u…
To make matters worse the Mac ports were often not as optimized as the PC versions often leading to worse performance than the PC version on the same hardware. And before Steam started selling Mac versions they were often more expensive and several months old. I distinctly remember seeing SimCity 4 as a "new" release for Mac in the local Mac shop for over twice the price of what I had paid for it on PC a few months p…

Maybe there’s a market for a company that specializes in porting, maintaining, and updating PC ports. Maybe even a Marketing that markets Mac Studio performance if it’s good enough. If the company is successful enough perhaps a deal can be made with Apple.
I just play it on my Switch.
I picked up Skyrim for my Switch when it was on sale a month or two back and was very happy at how good a job they did with the port. Yes it is a 10 year old game but the Switch is 5 year old mobile hardware and weak harder at that so it wasn't a given it would be as good a port as it is. Sure you don't get mods, etc. so it is just vanilla Skyrim but it is still a wonderful experience. Of course I kinda want to try i…
Now the Switch version is very bit of DLC or add on they've added and I can't think of anything I would want.
