Illuminate us
  1. Recent Macs using M1/M2 SoCs are really, really OP, on top of the fact that Macs tend to have long shelf lives and retain a very high resell value, compared to their Windows counterparts
  2. The Apple ecosystem is objectively the best and most private, making macOS extremely convenient without any of the bullshit you have to deal with on Windows 10/11, with MS accounts
  3. Apple just announced (Tuesday) further commitment to Mac gaming with their own version of DLSS and improvements to the Metal API
  4. Apple Arcade is surprisingly a great deal and gives you a shitload of actual Indie/AA games for free
As a PC gamer, I'd never switch to a Mac for gaming, but even though you're dropping a lot of money on a Mac, you're guaranteed for it to last considerably longer than other computers, and guaranteed to be able to resell them for a significant percentage of their original MSRP.

It's unrelated but AA is starting to become a more viable platform for indie games than the Switch, as pretty much every multiplat AA port I've played looks and runs a lot better than they do on the Switch, and (sometimes) 7th-gen consoles.
