[URL]http://kotaku.com/5484948/valve-teases-upcoming-mac-announcement-not-so-subtly?skyline=true&s=i[/URL] Valve has released a couple of images that can't be anything else than conformations that they're releasing steam and their games on OS X.

Haha Valve is pretty badass at that art :D [editline]05:32PM[/editline] I really want that gordon wallpaper.
valve knows how to art [editline]10:40PM[/editline] I wonder if it'll be cider or native
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;20540084]valve knows how to art [editline]10:40PM[/editline] I wonder if it'll be cider or native[/QUOTE] I'm going to assume native. I don't think they'd release something like Steam without being native.
The Kotaku article also has a L4D image. [img]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/500x_05_francis.jpg[/img] Hopefully a Linux version is coming as well.
IMO this is great news, let's hope some developers that have their games on steam bring them over in the future.
cool, so I guess it's official now? [editline]03:58PM[/editline] wait... would this mean we would have to re-buy the games in a Mac OS X version?

Oh fuck yes. Now i don't have to boot in vista every time i want to play garrys mod
[QUOTE=Muscar;20544046]I don't think so, there might be some different deals tough.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind paying like $5 for a copy of the ported version of my Source based games. All I would want are TF2, DoD:S, and L4D2.
[QUOTE=Alteir;20544067]Oh fuck yes. Now i don't have to boot in vista every time i want to play garrys mod[/QUOTE] inb4 servers that autoban you if you are running it on a mac.
even $10 wouldn't be that bad for a port imo. [editline]05:57PM[/editline] broke my auto-merge
i lol'd
[QUOTE=GawdOfROFLS;20544823]i lol'd[/QUOTE] Cool?
Kind of obvious since they have a Steam Mac UI in the Beta and a message for games telling you it's the wrong platform. But hey, the art is new.
I like Freeman's Apple suit, would be cool if it was in the Mac version of Half Life 2 as an easter egg or something.
Or if it is the suit hands and stuff :fuckyou:
[QUOTE=Panda X;20546826]Kind of obvious since they have a Steam Mac UI in the Beta and a message for games telling you it's the wrong platform. But hey, the art is new.[/QUOTE] but i thought it was leftover from the nonexistent webkit sdk :(
Even though I like Macs better, I did like their TF2 Sentry being upgradable joke. Can't wait for this though.
[QUOTE=Alteir;20544067]Oh fuck yes. Now i don't have to boot in vista every time i want to play garrys mod[/QUOTE] That's not how it would work.
oh so you know exactly how it works? please tell us.
i don't see why it would be too much of a burden these days seeing as it's not nearly as far from Windows as it was just three years ago. [editline]12:44AM[/editline] [QUOTE=GawdOfROFLS;20544823]i lol'd[/QUOTE] why
I wonder if Gmod will get a mac version.
I wonder what games Valve made will get Mac version. Most likely Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Counter Strike Source, and Left 4 Dead 2 since those seem to be their biggest games right now, IMO.
[QUOTE=Makol;20549783]oh so you know exactly how it works? please tell us.[/QUOTE] Whilst the Orange Box base would probably be converted for mac, the parts that contain modificaitons by Garry would not be converted, thus not working. It wouldn't be a switch where you just flip it and suddenly everything works. If Garry isn't going to provide Linux bins to server hosters, odds are he won't provide a mac version either.
I jizz... in... my paaaaahnts.
[QUOTE=Alteir;20544067]Oh fuck yes. Now i don't have to boot in vista every time i want to play garrys mod[/QUOTE] As long as Garry decides to port and support an OSX version. Even if the engine has been ported, doesn't mean everything else has been. Also, as far as I know, Garry doesn't have a mac so Gmod on OSX seems unlikely in the near future. :(

In the thread about this in Valve Games & Mods we were overanalysing the Sentry/Turret image so goddamn much. :D
Just wondering, but how do I know this is not some fan who WANTS it to come to OS X? I've seen no confirmation directly from Valve that it's coming to OS X... Not that I would care, as I'd much rather want it on Linux. Also fixed the turret image: [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/lols.jpg[/img]
