Steam on the Mac

I think I'm in love.

More developers need to realize that development in an open platform like OpenGL just makes financial sense since games can then easily move cross platform. That's all I will say about it.

Do you think Bioware may follow suit and think about putting The Old Republic on the Mac?

Who knows, maybe there'll be a Steam Linux client in 5 years...

Will you still need emulators or will steam act as an emulator?

It is odd that most game developers aren't realizing that Macs have been on the rise for years now. Most of my friends who own Macs are gamers as well, and would get a lot more "PC" games if they were cross computer/platform. It would also be great for programers as you wouldn't need to worry as much about drivers, which cards work well, etc, since macs pretty much use the same hardware.

The most sensible thing since gaming began. Seriously, the different platforms that you need for games is exhausting.

I already have my Xbox 360 for when I (extremely rarely) play games, so I won't be using Steam. But I do like the idea that it's coming.

Yeah, I think people are starting to realise, with mac really coming into its own now, that it doesn't make any sense to stick to one platform. I hate that i have to boot into a different OS constantly.
