I love this guide, however you can make it better by adding games support lists (https://applesilicongames.com/ and https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/Home)

I think you might have briefly linked CrossOver (at the top of the list!) however, you can also put it below Gaming Section (where steam and Xbox streaming is) and highlight the fact that you can play AAA games inside of MacOS with the help of CrossOver and Wine compatibility translation built into this app, also other resources such as PortingKit which work in a similar fashion but with some different games supported see (https://www.portingkit.com/) and its games (https://www.portingkit.com/games)

Another is Rosetta2 (OS automatically translating games -- check App Store in MacOS for Shadow of Tomb Raider)

You could also mention Parallels inside of Gaming section as Parallels has a Gaming feature to optimize it a little bit for DirectX games (yes its virtualised like you mentioned in a different section so you lose a bit of FPS) but its still really good on a lot of games (see YT Vids)

Hello this answer covers information about Apple Silicon ability for virtual machines to run virtual machines/sandboxes. This is known as nested virtualization.

This is important b/c for security Windows VMs on mac along with Android use/can use virtual sandboxes to run apps. It is technically available on M2 and M3 chips but Apple has not yet provided details on how to use this feature.

I find Pastebot significantly more useful than Maccy. Not sure if you've seen or tried it, but it's been my goto tool in this area and to keep clipboards sync'd for years now.

Boxer is a DOSBOX frontend that allowed you to easily import your game through drag and drop. You can then customize and make app wrappers.
