Linux has always enjoyed better game support than MacOS. Even before Valve's efforts, it was possible to get most games running - sometimes fine, but often with bugs or defunct features. Some games ran even better with wine than on a modern Windows installation of its time.

However, this does not mean it was easy.

That old joke from like 2003 still rings true:

"You know which games are good on Mac because they already came out 5-10 years ago." ๐Ÿ˜‚
