Do any Apple staff secretly use a Windows PC to play AAA games...

[Admiralbison]

because Apple can't do AAA games?


or at the least use Parallels to run games on Windows.

Yeah this is a weird question, it is like asking if some Microsoft Employees have Macs. The answer is going to be yes (if nothing else but to compile Microsoft Apps that run on Mac).

He believes what he believes, and facts won’t touch him.

Admiralbison, you can’t mantra your way to AAA games on the Mac.

I’m sure they do and not even secretly, and why not?

Secretly? Probably not. Openly? Most definitely.

Why do you keep spamming the forum by starting similar threads with the same purpose of declaring "Apple can't do AAA games"? You have already this thread where you repeat the same statement over and over again so keep spamming there instead. It's against the forum rules to start similar threads. It's embarrassing to see how you try to use a different title to fool the moderators but immediately start to use the exact same old content already used in your old threads. Are you that desperate and bored or do you just enjoy spamming?

And why would Apple employees use gaming PCs secretly? IBM is not forbidding its employees to use Macs. In fact they encourage them to do so because PCs are 3 times more expensive to mange and support. Here are some other of IBM's findings:

• There are 22% more macOS users who exceeded expectations in performance reviews, compared to Windows users.
• High-value sales deals tend to be 16% larger for macOS users, compared to Windows users.
• macOS users are 17% less likely to leave IBM, compared to those who use Windows.
• MacOS users are happier with the third-party software availability within IBM — just 5% of macOS users ask for additional software, compared to 11% of Windows users.

Even Google and its employees prefer Macs. It's no secret.

I highly doubt that Apple would have a policy of forbidding its employees to use PCs. It would also be against the law to control what the employees do in their private time or which devices they use. They surely wouldn't be allowed to game during working hours, just like many others so what makes you think that Apple employees secretly game at work instead of being working? or maybe you use your own working habits as a reference?

Macs are about much more than just gaming to Apple and many other Mac users. So don't worry about the gaming habits of the Apple employees and Mac users. If we can game on our Macs we do it, if not we buy a console or PC. Go and have fun with your own gaming rig instead of being obsessed by "Apple can't do AAA gaming" in so many posts. It's really not good for your mental health in the long run, unless you're a spam bot or a paid spammer.

By the way you could also send this question to Tim Cook as I have suggested to you before along with your previous thoughts about him and Apple needing "a kick in the backside" and "Apple can't do AAA gaming", but you still seem to be too lazy or unwilling to make an effort and rather spam the forum with the same old boring posts and threads.

While working at Apple? No, because they're not paid to play games, they're paid to work. When sitting at home and playing games, sure. Many people working for Apple are using macOS for "work" and have a Windows PC for gaming.

You gotta understand guys

This is a bit

Apple CAN’T do AAA gaming and sorely needs to employ game guru leads.

*warning long intro rant, if you want to get to my point skip ahead to “the point” ———— Macs can do the ‘work’ but can’t do the ’play’ gaming on computers is a massive past time, so this can’t be ignored. As Mac fans we have to be honest with ourselves, the Mac platform falls embarrassingly...

My Mac is a powerful machine designed to help me get my creative work done faster. If you need something else, I'd happily point you to something covered with bright multicolored LEDs available in the toy isle.

All that work to create images, videos, and music. Stuff that is also just non-tangible bits of entertainment data that people consume on their playthings for sensory pleasure. We're all so bored, aren't we.

 

[Analog Kid]

How many driving simulators does someone want to play anyway? AAA should just stick to maps and car insurance.

Why secret?

There are Windows and Linux PCs at Apple just like there are Macs at Microsoft.
