Apple had SteamVR support for a while, and even Valve Proton support for a while (meaning that Windows-only games were quite playable on Mac hardware). Unfortunately, Apple pulled 32-bit library support without offering a suitable alternative, so Valve was forced to scrap their plans for Mac gaming entirely.

I maintain that this was to avoid the lack of support for 32-bit games being blamed on the Apple Silicon.

There was only a 15-year transition period away from a seriously technically inferior architecture (for both performance and security.)

Works on my machine.
