Mark May 12th on your iCalendar: Steam (and Portal and Team Fortress AND HALF LIFE) is coming to Mac!
In true, Valve style -- only a month late! -- Steam and Valve's first-party games will be coming to Mac on May 12th. I'm not sure which games will actually be available at launch, but I'm guessing we'll see Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Half Life 2 at least -- if we see Left 4 Dead, I may actually sell a kidney and buy a Mac.Valve aren't simply bringing their games to Mac, though. They're also introducing 'Steam Play', an exciting feature that will let you save your game on a PC, and continue playing on your Mac! Or vice-versa! Also -- and this bit is gobsmacking if it's true -- both Mac and Windows gamers will exist in the same multiplayer universe: Mac and Windows will have the same lobby and server browser system.
I'll finally be able to kill Mac users in an online game.
May 12th will be a glorious day indeed.

Well, surely the Mac version will be Open GL... surprised that Valve hasn't said anything re: Linux tho'!

It's coming. The same article that leaked the Mac client also leaked the Linux one.
"OMG! PC Games: What systems will Postal III be released on?
Vince Desi: Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Mac and Linux."

You mean Mac users will finally get the chance to pwn windows boys

Bring it.

Well, Mac users have either been:
1. out of practice thanks to the drought of games and will get pwned until they have a chance to get up to speed with PC gamers
2. playing those games on Windows via Boot Camp or alternate machines anyway, and thus are the very "Windows boys" they're supposed to be pwning
...so no, not really.

It's like we're giving our old games to the poor kid down the street. Have fun little Appholes! We'll be playing MW2 and Bad Company 2.

So much hate, and yet Mac users are always the bad guys. Typical.
Regardless, I'm thrilled - I play TF2 and Portal and even HL2 Deathmatch on my gaming PC at home all the time, now I can take those games with me when I travel on my MBP. Absolutely fabulous.
