I love my Mac and I constantly wish that it could be my gaming PC.

But Valve could ditch Mac and it would barely be noticeable. Plus apple showed off tech similar to proton for Mac last year.

An ARM steam deck sounds interesting, but it would likely have to be after enough of the gaming market moved over.

I am p sure Valve couldn't care less about Apple. They care about Linux because they aren't at the whims of a corporate entity, which is even worse with Apple than with Microsoft.

MacOS makes up 1.38% of all Steam users, so I don't think Valve cares one bit.

1.38% of $10B is a lot of money. I’m not saying they care though.

You can't install ARM native MacOS games via Steam without Rosetta because of Steam. It's tedious, and suggests they aren't interested in "keeping Apple".
