Steam for Macs. Say waaaaa?

Post by Newman »

In Steam's latest beta release, a search through its files revealed a number of OSX-specific assets, like a Steam dock icon (among loads of others). Since there's no reason for OSX resources—that I should add, are specifically labeled "OSX"—to make their way into a PC product, it seems pretty certain that, yes, Steam is coming to Mac. Hooray!

Now, with Steam imminent, all the Mac platform needs is the actual games!

I though Gabe and the crew put Apple in the same catagory as the PS3. Guess not.

Well that sounds like a terrible business decision. I mean wouldn't you want to run a company that is successful from selling overpriced products? I know I would.

If they are planning on making steam for mac, what are they going to put on it? A bunch of games ported from pc?

I'm looking forward to having steam for mac. I hate having to check the forums for scheduled matches and such.
and you can already play games on mac just fine. Obviously with 3rd party apps but still. I do sometimes and I believe AVID does as well.

*And don't even get into a mac vs PC bullshit argument with me. I really don't care what you have to say about that.

If it turns out that I don't have HL:Episode 3 because Valve has been re-writing all its games to work on macs, I'm gonna go buy a few granny smith apples and make a pie. And them I'm.... well you know the rest.

Hahaha, I've been waiting for HL2:E3 for so fucking long... Like, idk. Valve has a tendancy of taking SO long on games.

Look at Team Fortress 2! The dev was like, 10 years. It's like, blizzard.

Yea and they've been working on TF3 now for a few years I heard recently. 2015 release tentatively.

At least Blizzard finally released Starcraft 2 Beta. Only took them 2-3 extra years. And pretty much no one got into it (including no one I know around). But still.

I've accepted that there will not be an Episode 3 for Half Life. Despite wanting one.
