Steam game crashing upon startup

I'm running Ubuntu 21 via VirtualBox on my macOS. Steam runs just fine. However, when I click "Play" for a game (in this case, Civilization V), the game never starts.

Here's the output from the terminal:

I suspect the game won't run in VB, because of GPU limitations in a VM. Why don't you install Steam to MacOS?

Any game or game with certain requirements?

Some simple games may run, but Civ V is heavy enough. You can install Steam to Mac.

That's true. However, the original reason I wanted to load Steam on my VM is to run 32-bit games like Borderlands Pre-Sequel.

Civ V won't run for sure in a VM.

Why is that? Because of the graphics requirement?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
