MACs hand PCs have both problems on the Mac they are different. I just 
prefer Macs because I work as software engineer, and prefer the UNIX 
which Macs use (OSX is a UNIX derivate). So most of the times the Mac is 
my workhorse.

I have both, a Mac as notebook computer and a PC as a standalone 
computer (Core i5 16 Gig Ram NVidia 660). I prefer to play on the 
notebook in bed, most of the times I stream the game via Steam inhouse 
streaming with the game being run on the PC, because many times there is 
no mac port of a game, although the situation has become significantly 
better (My Mac Steam list is about 1/3rd of my PC Steam list). Inhouse 
streaming really works well if you have a good wifi connection.

In case of Dreamfall chapters, inhouse streaming did not work with a 
controller so I reverted to the native Mac version which was (to some 
degree still is) more unstable than the PC version of the game.

That used to be the case, nowadays if a game is released patches do not 
break saves anymore. If you play the betas however it can happen and 
happened many times for instance in Divinity Original Sin.
