The ARM Macs are actually quite decent for less demanding games, even when running under Intel emulation. FWIW I started to play a couple of strategy games on my Mac over the holidays because I was away from my gaming PC and only had my Mac available.
Good luck finding macOS games in the first place. I've had to pass on quite the few games because they were only made for Windows...
Also good luck running most macOS games that were published 5-10 years ago or more and not updated. Apple really doesn't care about backwards compatibility at all which I think is a bigger issues for games than most other software. MS OTH is doing an exceptionally good job at this in comparison.
At the cost of ARM compatibility. Microsoft is doing as atrocious a job at ARM Windows than Apple is at its gaming ordeals. All that being said, I would never want Apple to change its ways. They've given us extraordinary ARM laptops that don't even have fans!
For the niche of realtime strategy games it's actually not too bad ;)
