I honestly welcome it. It brings up a lot more than just games in the future like MCAD and maybe even more creative apps.

CAD software for Mechanical design (mechanical engineers use it to design motors and transmissions and other machinery).

interesting, worked in cad/cam and arch viz but never ran into it called mcad. always specific applications like catia or autocad, onshape etc.. assumed it was an application name

Because if I say CAD then it would include KiCAD which is rock solid already and IMHO is perfect for most SME too

There’s also ECAD software for electronics. I believe a lot of product teams use both ECAD and MCAD. The former for designing the circuit board, the latter for designing the case and any moving parts.
