I am wondering, why are older Battlefields(Battlefield 3, Bad company 2) supported on apple silicon and the newer ones not?

Apple Silicon can successfully emulate x86-64 apps. Later games are probably x64 only, and as such cannot be emulated using the current chips and/or programs. Maybe the chip is capable, but the software is still being developed because running x64 code on an ARM CPU without any error is HARD AS FUCK. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

x64 is x86-64
