Mar 16, 2020 Steam is by far the biggest gaming platform in the World. Just a few days ago, I broke yet another record: 20 Million concurrent players. On top of that, it’s the place with the most Mac games available. 10,543 Mac games at the time of this writing. But as Steam Spy founder, Sergey Galyonkin, pointed out, too many new Steam games get released. So without direct involvement of Apple, or a concentrated effort by Mac users to prove the user base for running Windows games on Mac, it is unlikely that Proton & Steam Play for Mac in general, let alone ARM Macs would ever be seen as viable.

I must admit I'm quite confused by Your response - current PlayOnMac release 2.4.5 doesn't provide/include any XQuartz stuff by itself - it just downloads and installs the standard XQuartz distribution if none is found in the system.

Right, but I'm still hoping for some minimalistic solution like scaled down (minimal) XQuartz edition bundled right in PlayOnMac like it's done in Wineskin for example. Standard XQuartz distribution is quite big and I don't really need it for example. Actually I skipped the XQuartz installation in PlayOnMac and just use the Apple's X11 server as I use pretty simple apps when it comes to graphics. I understand it might not be a sufficient for gaming etc, but it's not really my case.
Also when it comes to additional stuff downloaded on first PlayOnMac startup - could You just write some instructions for how to download and install all these things manually if You can't bundle it into PlayOnMac? This is the case of additional fonts for example.
It's not really difficult so I believe there shouldn't be a big problem with that and having instructions for offline PlayOnMac installation may be handy.
Thank You - and keep up the good work.
