I cover Mac gaming from Berlin — what runs natively on Apple Silicon, what is still trapped in Rosetta 2, and what the Russian-language Mac community is actually playing. AppStorrent keeps coming up in those conversations, so I started writing longer pieces on the brand.

Background

I started reporting on Mac gaming in 2015 for a German-language tech blog, where I ran the Apple-platform games beat for five years. That work included monthly write-ups on Mac App Store games policy changes, deep dives on Metal vs OpenGL performance, and a long-running column on which AAA titles actually ship Mac builds at launch.

Since 2021 I have written independently from Berlin, focusing on the Apple Silicon transition and what it has meant for native Mac gaming performance. AppStorrent Guide is my reference page on the Russian-language Mac torrent brand that fills the gap the official Mac App Store games shelf still leaves open.

Areas of focus

How I approach this work

The Mac gaming pieces I write start with what real Mac gamers actually search for — the spelling variants, the safety questions, the Apple Silicon performance comparisons — and answer them with frame-rate numbers and licensing context rather than the moralising that usually surrounds anything torrent-adjacent. Where the topic intersects with Apple’s licensing or Russian regulatory pressure, I name the constraint and let readers decide.

I do not host downloads, mirror catalogues, or take any commercial relationship with the sites I write about. The model on this site is editorial only: longer-form Mac gaming reference pages, kept current as the underlying property changes and as Apple Silicon native ports keep landing.
