interesting. i wonder how long steam will release games each wednesday for mac's. i don't own one but i wonder if they're going to get all their major titles like: CSS, TF2, L4d1+2, etc running on the mac. valve is simply amazing imo. i love their games and what they do with them, especially how they've been doing multi-core usage in recent games like tf2 and l4d.

What would be the point of steam on the 360? None of the games you had on the account would be installable on the 360 so there's no carry over. You can already buy games, both full and arcade, with the live service. There'd be no benefit...

This is pretty short sighted. It will be a huge success just watch. There are plenty of casual games after all. My mom is getting a Mac soon and she is an avid Bewjewled-type gamer and has been for years on various PCs. I will without a doubt show her Steam to keep things simpler.

The weekly releases are to display certain technologies of Steam. Steam Play is this week's Steam tech, whereby you can buy a game for the PC version of Steam, and you're able to play it on any Steam activated PC or Mac, you just purchase once. This shows they're really looking into multi-platform.

@Eva01Master: There are more people with Macs than there are with Linux installed on their home machines (if the surveys and web traffic analysis are all correct). Steam already has parts of it that are coded for Linux, I imagine they're just going by whatever platform has more market share first. Steam is probably eventually going to be the defacto "app store" for full-sized computers once it goes totally cross-platform.

Steam Play is definitely a big advantage, do not want to be buying games all over again, even if it does mean I can play them on my MBP, rather than booting into Windows every time.

@a_ump: Funny you should mention multi-core usage, OS X has Grand Central Dispatch, which makes it easier for applications to use multiple processor cores efficiently. I wonder if Valve have taken advantage of this, or just made something of their own (quite likely).

@EastCoasthandle: I would have guessed Steam for 360 would just be shot down by Microsoft, since you've got the Live service for gaming, you have Messenger for chatting, and you've got the games themselves on DVD, there is also already a game download service too, but also you have multimedia stuff otherwise.
The only advantage I could see is if they brought Steam Play, Steam Cloud and a few other things to the table. Steam Play so you only have to buy a game once (I think if this happened, I could justify spending £10 more per game, rather than £50 for the 360 version, and £40 for the PC version, you just buy the multi-platform version, with a DVD in the case that works for the 360, and a download voucher for PC). Steam Cloud saves all of your preferences, game settings, and saved games on Valve's servers, so if you reinstall, or your HDD goes kablooee, you've not lost those small, annoying bits and pieces.

Haven't installed this yet, as I have exams, but I must say I love Valve as much as i love my Companion Cube :love:

The truth of the matter is that there is a huge untapped market for Steam and they wouldn't be doing this if it didn't make financial sense. Hopefully this will increase demand for Mac systems that are more gaming friendly.

There was a time in the past when there were some awesome Mac games. I mean Bungie started out making (Exclusively) Mac games. Marathon anyone?

Blizzard makes their games for MAC aswell.

Starcraft, Diablo, Starcraft II, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft.

They are the biggest titles ever if you ask me!

With CS they have all the most popular games in history!

Edit: Valve also working on linux ports, and steam client there, mac and linux shares large amount of shared libaries, they run opengl, and X11.

X11 is the graphical GUI system, not how windows look, behave, how menu's and all that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11

I'm sure they both share way much more! but anyways, even fancy mac can use it!(x11)

So my point here is really that the way from Mac to linux is short. since the DX->Opengl is the hardest.

It's actually full-on Steam, the games that work with it meanwhile are not quite the same. Obviously, DirectX support within them was removed, since it's not needed, and it's proprietary from Microsoft, so it's not able to be implemented without something like Wine.
Downloading Portal now, and bought and downloading Torchlight now too.
Really hope they release HL2 next week, wouldn't mind playing through it again. Potentially without cheating this time...

I love starting my day with a good laugh!:laugh:

This is cool, if we have backed-up are games from steam can we just install them over or do we have to re download them?

Rant:
By the way i have a macbook and i hate it, simple as that it freeze's up i got the gsod, and i get error all the time, it also over heats! i would much rather have a 7 laptop. This laptop was free brand new so i don't really mind the bad stuff as much, but if i had to pay $1000 for this i would be angry.

i assume it would take a redownload, since they had to convert them to work on the other OS.

some files may work copied over, and save you some bandwidth at least.
