3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Taboo Question (self.gaming)

I have a question about... Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It's for my wife, though. Lol!

She has a very old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I'm looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I'm looking into a MacBook of some sort.

The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We're talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.

There’s potentially some cloud-based options for this, if someone doesn’t want to maintain a gaming device.

Basically, it seems like Game Pass Ultimate will let you play games like The Sims 4 and Minecraft using a constant video connection to an Xbox server. If I’m right, these are in fact the mouse/keyboard version of the game. Probably not as moddable though.

It’s not a great option especially considering the subscription, but it sometimes feels more hassle-free depending on the user.
