   Yep, its official. I'm actually a little surprised that the announcement was this extensive. Not only is Steam coming to Mac, but the Source Engine has also been ported to the Mac. Portal 2 will be the first Source game to be released on the Mac, but all of Valve's back-catalog of Source-powered titles will also be making…

   Mac and Linux users starve for good games, im useing dual boot since ages and honestly only reason Windows is still allowed on my HDD is the fact i love games, if Valve wants to get serious about alternate platform they can gladly be my guest, besides OSX has a good share in America and if Valve even gets a Linux client…

   This is what I was thinking. You get a Steam client on MacOS/LinuxOS, and reach "that many more" gamers who don't feel alienated. I own a Mac(mini), but don't game on it, but I am annoyed that people don't develop for it more as it's a viable platform for gaming.
