Valve to Deliver Steam & Source on the Mac

[flibitijibibo]

If there was anything that could have been done to possibly make me happy about having to use Macs for work, this was it.

Thank you, Valve.

My macbook is happy.

Macs are decent little machines usually. I'm glad they're supporting us.

Also...

But there's no right-clicking! How do we fire the orange portal?

I'm going to assume you're trying to be funny or something.... and that you know better.

Mac and Windows players will be part of the same multiplayer universe, sharing servers, lobbies, and so forth. We fully support a heterogeneous mix of servers and clients.

Hopefully it will supply servers with info of the user's operating system.
B& all mac fags.

Also, in-game mac vs pc wars here we come.

Neither are Linux computers....

You're kidding, right? Linux computers can be 10x more powerful and have more performance than a mac. In fact, with Linux, at least we have support for REAL gfx cards like ATi not just 9400 GTs on the high end etc etc.

I might actually consider an iMac if they'd add at least the HD5770 as a graphics option.

[Bodzilla]

you see this is why Valve is the best video game company on the panet, bar none.

They just fucking get it.
They understand the community, provide for the community, things we want and things we could want..... Why on earth would you bother going anywhere else.

They understand the economics of supply and demand. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if Apple had a little push in this movement.

also; nvidia needs to get off their asses and port fucking PhysX to Mac. Hurry the fuck up.

Not kidding at all, if you want to build a gaming computer you install Windows. It's that simple. And when you say "Linux computers' you're really just talking about PC's running different operating systems, and when it comes to gaming, more limited operating systems. So you're still comparing "PC's" to "Macs", since Macs use completely different hardware (with the exception of some of the newer Intel based Macs)...

Oh and you can get Nvidia GTX 285's (see: the most powerful single GPU video card from Nvidia) for Macs.
