Mac Mini or something else for "older" games and Photoshop?

Hello. I'm looking to get a Mini PC for the first time but am looking for one where I can play certain games, which are:

World of Warcraft Classic

Guild Wars 2

Old School RuneScape

Maybe Star Wars The Old Republic. (If it can run it)

Basically "older" MMORPGs.

Left 4 Dead and other smaller indie titles on Steam, etc.

Would also want to be using it for Photoshop as I use it for a side hustle.

My first thought was a Mac Mini as people have said WoW runs perfectly on it as well as others, but at the same time it can't run certain games and might be a little restricted on what you can play as from what I've read.

So in that regards, can anyone suggest to me an alternative that is under $900 (AUD)?

Should I use an alias for gaming purposes?

My Playstation account was stolen from me recently so I'm doubling down on privacy when it comes to emails and such.

I'm wondering if using an alias with simplelogin for gaming purposes be better, or just make a secondary Protonmail email address?

Account hacked a few months ago. Have had to start a new account but just don't have the motivation to play games anymore.

So a few months back my account was hacked /stolen from me (and yes I had MFA on but they were still able to get into it and Playstation have not helped at all) so I had a bit of a break and come back recently with a new account.

But every time I play something, I just don't have the motivation anymore to play or replay games after my account was taken.

I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe because I spent about 16 years and hundreds (if not more) of $ with my other one and now it seems useless to play anymore (I do still play on the Switch 2 - this is just a Playstation issue I have). I boot up anything and after about 10 minutes I just kind of feel like "What's the point?"

Is this normal? Or has anyone been in the same boat?
