I got Fallout 3 working on my M2 MBP as well as it did on Windows back in the day. Temps were cool, battery was decent. If they sold my college years gaming collection (15-ish years ago) in a way that ran natively through GoG or Steam, I'd buy every single title.
Not to mention that Mac owners are a minority share of the PC gaming market. Linux has the right idea, if you don't translate the games then you'll never have true preservation.
They had literally 15 years of warning about this.
I'm not going to blame the developers here because it's not their fault.
The real question is what happens when they drop Rosetta. They promised they'll keep the APIs related to running 32 bit games but can we trust them?
