But why oh why not for me and my Mac…

Still, ordered anyway. Ya ne’er know. 

I feel your pain.

But you could do like my Mac daddy buddy is doing and p1mp out a retired Dell office tower as a Windows gaming box for about $250 with GPU. The most important component is the video card, and even my GTX 1070 (about $60 on eBay these days) can handle anything I throw at it at ultra resolution without breaking a sweat.

I don't play the latest AAA action games (which neither of these is). Red Dead Redemption 2 is about the most challenging, and it runs just fine.

Minimum hardware ante is 16G RAM and a 256G SSD. As far as video cards go, the price of used ones is finally dropping, and even my earlier GT 1030 did okay with everything but RDR2. I played through Outer Wilds, Obduction, Portal, and Portal 2 on my old Dell 17-3770 system with a GTX 550Ti.
