    Because they are selling games on this platform today and the reasonable expectation would be that they properly support it. If they deem it too much of a cost then they can exit the market rather than half ass it.

      There wasn’t a reason to before but now they are doing it now because there’s enough of a market to justify it…I’m not sure what you think they did so wrong

        Have you used Steam on ARM Macs? Rosetta 2 is a dynamic recompiler which does badly when emulating things that recompile dynamically themselves, like web browsers, which Steam is essentially. Scrolling was choppy, power efficiency was bad. M1 and newer chips brute forced their way through this because they’re so fast but Steam performance was embarrassing.
