Don’t support the Capcom iOS/macOS releases ever since they added a required internet connection for starting up a single-player game.

I wasn't a huge fan of the co-op aspect of 5 and 6. general gameplay, story and everything else is top tier.
If the power button on the new Mac Mini is not an issue this is even a lesser issue.
It’s not an issue if you’re on a plane or somewhere with no internet where you want to play your premium paid game you paid for?

Closest thing we have right now is emulators… which work really good on Apple hardware.
I'm sure in some rare cases people won't have internet access but for the most part I don't think it will be a problem. With phones you'll have cellular access if Wi-Fi doesn't work and there is free Wi-Fi for Macs at airports or on planes. You can buy one hour internet on planes if it's not free and you can always share you phone’s internet with your Mac on a plane too. The internet connection is only needed to launch the game for control, not for gameplay so you could launch the game when you have internet access, like before boarding the plane and put your Mac to sleep and then start playing on the plane. It just takes a second to check the purchase history so that’s how long you need an internet connection. If you’re without internet not having the internet access itself will be a bigger issue for other reasons than not being able to play.
They did it already a while ago and no, it's not dead in the water because it will be an issue only in very rare cases.
There was the "rumor" of Apple x Playstation partnership.
My personal guess.
1. Apple announces the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max Macs
2. Apple announces M4 Mac Mini starts at $599 [$499 w/EDU]
3. Apple announces Cyberpunk 2077 gets native port by early 2025
4. Apple announces M4 Ultra Mac Studio/Pro at spring event 2025
5. Cyberpunk runs on M4-Series Mac Mini at stable 1080p/60. [M3 and M4 Macs get RT and higher resolution/FPS based on specs]
6. Apple announces Playstation partnership at WWDC 2025 with ~3 games launching later summer with entire Sony PC library by end of the year.
7. Mac Mini M4 becomes ultra portable PS5.
Might get this. I’m looking for a nice single player campaign to get into. Anyone here play RE Village, how was that?
No, just in the same way your game purchases on Steam won’t work on Epic game store or GOG.
Look to indie developers. They’re the only ones doing anything interesting these days.
I sometimes think about buying games on my 
devices, but then I remember how large they are and how little space I have left on my iPhone/iPad/Mac, and the thought quickly goes away 😂.
If Apple really wants to boost serious gaming on it's platforms, maybe they should be less stingy with storage when selling devices 🙄.

I'm not quite as old, but do share some old man sentiment. That said, the RE remakes have been solid, and potential GOTY is the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
What grinds my gears the most are remakes for relatively new games like The Last of Us.

App Store games can now be installed on external storage in macOS 15.1. Even before it was possible but they couldn’t be updated then.
I don't think we can expect any Nintendo first party console games on a non-Nintendo platform. That being said, I would really love to see Sony porting the Horizon series on Mac. After all, Death Stranding is using the same game engine and it plays very well.
AC Shadows had been delayed until early next year. I believe it was February what was announced.
Should be up and coming around then.
Interesting. Do you have to manually move the game after the download?
This workaround won't work for iOS based devices though, will it?
It's for Mac App Store. No, you select the opton in the settings just like Steam and the drive must be formatted as APFS.
How to install App Store apps on an external SSD
Apple's macOS Sequoia now lets you install apps on external SSD drives instead of taking up space on your internal one — but it doesn't tell you this, so here's how to do it.
