The only reason AAA games target Windows is because you rely on Windows for that.

As a Mac user who loves to game, the situation can be incredibly frustrating. It seems about half the games I want to play are available (and great!) but half either remain PC-only forever, or take an age to get released on Mac — I've been waiting for The Witness for over a year now! Still, if the alternative is adverts in my file explorer, I'd take absolutely anything else instead.
