After my gaming computer started rebooting (probably needs a new power supply in order to hit peak power draw), I tried out my new M2 Pro for gaming again.
I've been using Codeweavers Crossover to play games that are Windows only, and it's been surprisingly fine. I never fixed my gaming PC (for gaming, at least) and converted it to an at home server. It's been a couple months now. I just lent a friend my GPU.
Epic Games doesn't seem to work, but you could always use Legendary for those titles -- I just don't have any titles on Epic that I want to play.
I'm hoping in one of the future updates that Crossover can activate macOS Sonoma's Game Mode for the games running within Wine, because I assume it'll improve performance even more. I'm also having a bit of buyers remorse -- I didn't plan to use this for gaming, and now I'm wondering how much better an M2 or M3 Max would be for more demanding titles.
Ehh yeah the prospect of using such patching software doesn't appeal, and I don't want to run the risk that games work poorly or not at all even with that kind of fiddling (which is something I abhor about Linux, so why would I want it on my expensive and supposedly superior Macbook).
