Sounds cool. Interesting decision too, as VALVe's CEO is a former Microsoft employee.

Valve has always tried to be on the cutting edge. While I'm not a mac fan at all (My friends call me a Mac Hating Nazi) it's an interesting move. After all, blizzard has been doing this for most of their recent games.

Please have some respect for Mac users... afterall nobody is perfect :>

I wonder if they aren't too late though, most Mac users I know have a Windows VM or bootcamp.

I ain't saying people are perfect I just point out the realization of the user group Valve is aiming at.
Valve are always late, that's nothing new.

Dumb mac users around the world feel pleased with your statement...
Windows and Linux users are laughing their asses off.

Well, if this IS going to happen (you know how Valve is), i am leaving Windows, and going on with my MacBook. I don't see a reason to use Windows, if the whole stuff works on my Mac Smile

So you would still miss out on quite a few of the good old games Big Grin
