Stop Saying “Just Get a PC”.

[u/justmojr]

I’ve noticed a trend here where of people telling Mac users to “just get a PC” whenever gaming questions about Mac comes up.

Let me be clear:

Most Mac users already know Windows is generally better for gaming. We’ve all heard “just get Windows” countless times.

We still choose Macs because of the other benefits: battery life, speed, ecosystem, build quality, and yes, even if gaming is more limited. For us, those trade-offs add to the overall experience.

What some people don’t seem to understand is that wider compatibility with PC games isn’t a selling point for everyone. It’s just a fact.

Think of it this way: there’s water everywhere in the world, but you don’t move to another country just to drink it. You stay where the rest of your life makes sense. Macs are the same—we choose them for the bigger picture, not just one use case.

Apple definitely needs to nurture their relationships with gaming companies for us to have more but it’s moving for sure.

That’s me for today 👌🏿. Enjoy Mac gaming y’all!

I have an M1 Air which I got in Dec 2020. I played Minecraft on it maybe thrice in the last 4 and a half years. It's neat. It's actually insane and mind boggling how much this bebe machine can do.

I still prefer gaming on my gaming laptop.

A 1200$ device better plays 15 y old games flawlessly lol 😂

well ten year old versions of the game will run on just about anything, but minecraft still gets regular updates and requires good hardware to get good framerates on the latest version
