Seems that macos ports aren't doing much better

I find this quite interesting, since MacOS doesn't have any real equivalent to Proton that I'm aware of.

Likely because of this.

There was a pretty lukewarm initiative for custom wine-wrapped (they called the wrapper 'cider') commercial games after the switch to Intel, in mid-2000s: https://www.macworld.com/article/181009/cider.html

I had bought the original GTA trilogy, which ran pretty well on my Core2Duo MacBook.

Cider and Cedega were from TransGaming which stopped development in 2011.

There is one, sort of. The Apple Game Porting Toolkit. Based on CrossOver but I think something else used for DX12 support?

"Apple says this is more for evaluating games right now before they’re ported across to macOS, but there’s nothing stopping macOS users from installing this Game Porting Toolkit and trying games out. "
