There was a pretty lukewarm initiative for custom wine-wrapped (they called the wrapper 'cider') commercial games after the switch to Intel, in mid-2000s: https://www.macworld.com/article/181009/cider.html
I had bought the original GTA trilogy, which ran pretty well on my Core2Duo MacBook.
Cider and Cedega were from TransGaming which stopped development in 2011.
