Yeah, no.

    It’s not a Mac OS copy and an iOS copy any more than I have a Steam Deck copy of a game and a desktop copy of a game. From what I can tell, it’s the same thing. Obviously this is beneficial for Apple keeping you in their ecosystem, but this serves the same function. Quite frankly, I’m not sure why you’d have an iPhone if you don’t have a Mac, but I know plenty of people do.

      iPhones outsell MacBooks something like 10:1. The majority of people with iPhones, if they are playing games not on their phone, are using consoles and/or PC’s.

        Oh yeah, I’m aware. But the value proposition of an iPhone doesn’t make sense to me if you don’t also have a Mac.

          I guess that depends. A lot of flagship phones are reaching $1k+ these days, and I rely on my phone for a TON of things. I need the support, battery life, and I enjoy the Apple ecosystem (not just my MacBook, but the watch and AirPods too). I’ve found it made sense for me. I guess the value of things really depends on the buyer’s perspective.

            Wait, so you do have a Macbook. Maybe it’s not M1, but if you enjoy that part of the ecosystem, you’ll probably upgrade to one at some point. At which point, that gives you a “Mac copy” of the game too.
