   Apple added #DX12 support to macOS and Apple Silicon via its Game Porting Toolkit. It’s basically a 20k patch to Wine that will make it easy to play AAA Windows games on macOS without using a VM. https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple

     Also, plz appreciate the lengths Apple will go through to avoid sending stuff to upstream. This has to be GPL v2 b/c Wine/Codeweavers, but rather than patch upstream, this is patched inside a homebrew formula. It’s amazing.
