Reminding that Steam is also a store on the ARM platform
I’m taking inspiration from this thread

The release of Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be made possible because much of the game’s libraries and binaries have already been ported to ARM; by publishing on Mac (i.e., ARM), CD Projekt appears to be trying to recoup some of their investment.
