I started writing about video games on a small magazine called Planet Playstation in 1998 and have written for, edited and launched many more games magazines since then, from Xbox mags to the Official PlayStation Magazine. I've played every retro console, and still own most, somewhere in my garage there's a box of Atari, Sega, Commodore and Nintendo goodies gathering dust.
Here's the thing, in over 20 years of professionally writing about and covering video games Apple has been an outsider; successful in every area of computing, changing how we interact with tech and media, Apple has never managed to get a foothold in games. The excellent Apple Arcade store is worthy but it's more a home to the best indie games rather than an Apple equivalent Steam. The closest I've come to gaming on Apple was playing Football Manager on my Mac Mini back in 2006. Traditionally, Apple has just not be relevant.
