What does everyone think? Can it finally be true????

 

[Simon]

[DNAz]

Only valve....only valve

 

[iEye Captain]

I don't get it.

 

[Darth]

Yea, seems like it is going to be for mac now...

they might release a huge update though, mac steam, hl2:ep3 and explain what portal is all about... oh yea and the engineer update for tf2 too

 

[Countess]

WAHHH who doesn't know what portal is?? Or what the little engineer thingy is? Bah

Oh and the turret thing is now my background on my mac =D

Here's the larger picture version for anyone wanting to do the same:

I know that but since the orange box and all Valve games will be that will still be worth it.

True, but i wanna game on linux

Now, I know they said Valve's games will work, but does that include SDK as well?

I'll be happy if it's true. =D

 

[Allan]

Steam would rather do Mac Games then PS3 games, LOL

im pretty sure it would be maybe not the content creations tools but the sdk base is just the game engine and materials so that would be ported. thought it may require some work on the mod developers side to get mods like insurgency and what not to run on mac, it really all depnds on how the mod was made and if all api calls were done via the engine or they called Directx directly

 

[InsanitySauce]

I am actually excited. This would definitely get valve a bigger population.
