Is the new M4 Mac Mini the lost Steam Machine I always wanted? Is it comparable to modern day Gaming Consoles? In a way yes, but in many other ways, also very much not. However, Mac gaming is on the rise, and I was surprised at how accessible it has become, while still being in a very experimental state.
