Not only in Unity games, cursors get stuck and mouse tracking is often broken in the whole system.

Steam statistics are quite random, they sample only a small number of active users, so it's a bit of a roulette.

Making an Intel only port it's those who made a 32bit only port when Apple already announced they would remove 32bit support two years before.

The first Witcher 2 64-bit update was a fat binary with the 32-bit part too, I guess then they updated it again and it seems 64-bit only now. Oh well…

The Witcher 2 should still contain the old 32-bit binary, did you check in Finder info window if you could start at in 32-bit?

It looks like the made a fat 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries, and Rosetta 2 is tripping on something, I wonder if it's a rosetta bug or the binary has been merged the wrong way.

Fantasian on Apple Arcade. Well I was playing it a month ago, but this game is ruthless: selecting a bad action a single time in a boss fight often means game over.

The main issue is that Steam and Epic Store libraries are not available for arm yet. There are native games on the Mac App Store, but there can't be on Steam or Epic.
