Err... let me quote the relevant part of the links you provided:
So random websites make up some specs, back in November 2019 and we take it as a given?
I don't like the Crossover concept, that you have to pay them a yearly subscription to modernize a variation of WINE to run things on a Mac using Steam and other similar hosts. I rather see a ARM version of Windows running under VM.
It's on Steam advertised as both Windows and Mac. But yes, it's poor because they couldn't be bothered invvesting the money for the "few" people playing it on Mac. I've played the unofficial Mac port for a while and then the official version (which fixed long loading times). As far as graphics and performance goes, it's a pain. I've fully switched to the Windows version a couple of leagues ago.
But that's the fun part. D3 doesn't require any thinking at all, it's so limited that it's boring quickly because it's just clicking a button on the mouse. PoE isn't about maps or anything, it's all about crafting and the endless character tree which is so much more customizable than D3. The problem here is, it's too complex once you're above level 90. It turns into a full blown math statistics class at Oxford, considering Gems, Gem levels, the character tree and classes. Something in between PoE and D3 would be nice. If I'd only have to pick one, PoE without doubt, even when I don't have the time to fully dive into it.I also can't stand the elongated pushing with too many maps that seems to go forever and ever. What can one say it's worse then Diablo season bonus with new maps and more new maps. Maybe it should be renamed Path of Endlessness.
We can only speculate at this time, but I did note Apple had some utility for developers to aid in porting PC games to Metal 3 that I saw someplace. Also note this years WWW 2022 had a lot more Metal 3 associated discussion with its improvements and benefits over predecessor.
D4 borrowed some things from PoE, perhaps. I do note that Blizzard is horrible with specifying requirements even when they say something is announced. Really need to get their act together and give us all the details, but then D4 been coming for a long time.
Try Windows ARM then, if it works, that should be fine. That being said, there's a pay-once Crossover version called Crossover Life that comes with all future updates free, full support and some special swag.
who said to you it was a conclusion; it wasnt any conclusion...it was just a question
Citation needed. The most I heard was Window users were indifferent about this. They're neither thrilled nor repulsed that Mac users can get in to game with them
Folks have been pretty sad that Blizzard has more or less stopped macOS support in new games. I'm still surprised they didn't bother making Diablo Immortal work on macOS when they went through the (more?) effort for the PC version.
The eye opening thing with blizzard is that they have previous releases for MacOS and thus plenty of sales data that they’re not just “guessing” at.
I wonder if they lost all (or a lot) of the folk internally that would champion a macOS release.
I find POE too complex, so that might be a good thing. Hopefully not too light/simple though - there needs to be some depth.
