From what I know they only confirmed that Portals 2 will come for mac
So you would still miss out on quite a few of the good old games

You tell me why you cant print to your offices Ricoh network printer hmm?

I enjoy a Mac-Windows flamewar as much as the next person.. but let's not here.

[loopyman]

Haha, well its a good move on their part as they can begin advertising mac friendly games as more dumb mac users continue to download viruses and claim to be immune

I think this is a positive mood for VAlve. Cause lets be honest here, Linux is next. With linux and MacOSX built on unix then it shouldn't be to hard to port further.

[Mooga]

MacOS is built on BSD.
While Linux, Unix, and BSD are closely related, they aren't as close as one would think. However, once it's ported over to openGL, that opens a LOT of doors. Who wants TF2 on their cell phone?

According to wiki, your right. Its in the Unix family, but it use's both unix and BSD components, with a hint of Jobs. Thanks for informing me, I had no idea. lol.

As for the openGL, that would be just interesting in general.

"/macsucks"

Because?

[loopyman]

This isn't a mac vs pc flaming thread, Tiger already pointed that out. I will not continue such actions condemning Mac users in this thread.

[SirTiger]

That's wise.. as they might release a srcds for OSX too... and we wouldn't want to make these people feel unwelcome here

[loopyman]

Really? Hmmm... Makes me think about putting some old macs in a datacenter and selling MacOSX game servers

I think you would get much better performance out of Windows or Linux for server uses than Mac. The way I see it, Mac is only good at designing devices/software for artistic and creative individuals for personal use.

[loopyman]

So? Charge more for mac exclusive servers...

I sent Jason an e-mail when the announcement was made. No word yet.

[SirTiger]

No reply yet I bet.. they are harder to reach than the White House sometimes...
