I don't get it. They already make a ton of money on mobile games - why not embrace Steam and Proton on their platform? What's the money in AAA games on their platform?

edit: this is to say if they had "wet dreams" about selling AAA games on Mac, we'd have seen the tides moving a long time ago.

Buying from Steam doesn't give them the appstore cut. And nobody buys Macs for gaming, so it doesn't drive hardware sales either.

What I don't get is that games compete in the attention market and are a big money industry next to movies and TV.

Apple is happy to produce its own movies and tv shows but not AAA games?

Or maybe they have and I simply didn't see that blip, I am honestly not in sync with Apple gaming world.

Apple wants to own the entire computing stack for the average Joe, for legitimate integration reasons and illegitimate monopolistic market capture reasons.
