That said, you can always opt for paid software like Parallels Desktop. Some options like Virtualbox are 100 percent free, but won't offer the most performance, which means only very low-spec games will run without any issues. If trying to get a game running using Wine isn't working, you can always turn to running Windows in a virtual machine. It's not going to run everything, but it's effective enough that there are Mac versions of games that are essentially a wrapper around Wine running the Windows version of the game. While Wine was originally developed to help Linux users run Windows software, it now does the same for macOS. Back to the point, I'm talking about the definitely not an emulator software known as Wine. I don't mean "Hey, get drunk and play some video games!" Although I suppose that's also an option, assuming you're of legal drinking age and don't plan to drive anywhere. That's why if you're looking to play more games on your Mac, you're going to need to get creative about it. While more games come out for macOS than they used to, it's still not as easy as popping into the App Store and downloading the new game everyone is talking about. Yeah, you can do it, but you're going to have a more difficult time than everyone else. Deciding to get into gaming on a Mac is like going on a day hike with a few bricks in your backpack.
