I know this is a wild sentence but… MAN do I agree with Whoopi. Playing D4 on my MacBook would be a legitimate dream for work travel. inb4 Steam Deck.
I’ve been tracking this, and I’m hopeful… that said, I think unless Blizzard actually gets officially involved, the M1 Max I have probably isn’t going to cut virtualising (more or less) D4 in a meaningful way. I say this with zero experience actually trying.
This isn’t the before-times anymore, everything is compiled and should be portable across architectures.
They should also be using moderately stable graphics apis like vulkan or opengl, though you can use wine derived libs to deal with direct3d.
The os is pretty different, but again, high quality shops don’t write to the os, they have their own abstraction stack just in case they have to deal with variants like with game consoles.
Tl;dr - if blizzard can support games on ps5 they can support Mac just as well.
