Now that Valve and STEAM Support the Mac platform hopefully bigger developers such as EA,Activision,etc,etc follow suite!

I assume it doesn't work on PPC macs, correct?

This is interesting though. Mac OS is BSD based, thus it should be possible to recompile the program to be linux-native. Can't wait!

If you had the source code. Which you dont

Well I would imagine that valve would be willing to give it out if a huge community project arose to port it to linux. But if thry are doing it themselves, that's fine too.

Steam finally came out for Mac. Now I can finally delete that Windows partition.


Grr, not all the games are compatible yet. Never mind!

Muahahah! You're stuck to M$'s community
I had to lol!

Seriously though, I saw that, and it sounds good enough...but what about Linux?

I'm not sure if they will support all the games though...

As long as the source engine is supported, I'm happy.

From what I've been reading they will.

I imagine it will take a bit for their whole library to be ported over.

I'm sure Valve, ID, maybe some of Epics older stuff, among other things should find their way to Mac and Linux.

Steam being on these two platforms will really open the PC gaming market in a healthy way I think.

Me too. Then I can play TF2, and others on linux without wine.

Pretty much all ID software is already on Mac OS X and Linux. They use OpenGl. The game paks are portable. I'd be surprised if they had something that didn't already support *nix.
