This may be a repeated question/thread but I am wondering if Garry's Mod will be converted for use on the Mac along with the other Source games being added.
Discuss what you guys think should happen with it.

[quote]There’s been a few rumours in the past week about Half-Life 2 for Mac, Steam for Mac yadda yadda. (Which has probably all been overshadowed by the Portal 2 announcement now).
So inevitably I start getting emails along the lines of “Will you make GMod for the Mac if it’s true”.
It depends on a lot of things. I haven’t heard ANYTHING about it yet. I don’t know whether the orange box version of the engine will run on Mac, platform issues, what’s happening with shaders, or whether it’s all academic because it’s using some kind of emulator and will work anyway.
[B]But the bottom line is, “I’ll do my best to make it happen”.[/B][/quote]
As far as I've heard, the developers aren't too keen on the idea, but it might go through anyways.
"Riots in the streets, Women and children being slaughtered and eaten. ITS TOTAL FUCKING ANARCHY!!!!"
When I read your title, for some reason it said "Garry's Mod moving to McDonalds."

It shall not happen. Because Mac hardware is so shitty that Mac users will cry about it.
Please come.

[QUOTE=garry;20651867]Sorry guys, but when the mac version comes out I'm gonna release a patch that cripples the PC version so you HAVE to buy a mac. Sorry again.[/QUOTE]

MacBooks have exactly the same hardware as laptops around two hundred dollars less expensive, MacBook pros do not have any problem, and the recent iMacs also do not have any problem
Yes it's coming
Inb4 Macs can't right click and windows fanboys rage
Hehehe have fun garry! Objective C is fucking worthless if you don't work for apple, seriously that thing is so weird to program in

Macs really aren't that bad... there are some people that go too crazy over Windows and don't even consider what a mac can do, and vice versa of course. Why can't we be friends? :(
Plus I love my Macbook Pro. I haven't had any issues except the fact the mouse doesnt work very well... but that's probably only because i spilled coke on it 7 times.
Probably, considering some of Valve's games are [URL="http://l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=3570"]already in transition.[/URL]

because fear of the unknown and unmeasureable levels of bigotry and trolling exists on both sides. and lately, facepunch has been one big fat "troll the mac users" fest. annoying as piss that this is the only thing that the mods just look the other way at.
try saying "mac" to anyone here. you'll get to see what looks like Chimps who just found a shit to throw.
prejudice and fear of the unknown, also called "conservatism".

But macs are suck, and aren't progressive at all.
And what you described isn't conservatism. Not precisely, at least.

All the current Mac hardware can handle Left4Dead 2 and TF2. A friend with a Mini can play them all fine.
I have a mac, and ever since moving from windows it's been great.
Only downside is rebooting into windows to play games but otherwise, it's fine.
Different computers for different people.
Apple seems to be great at minimizing powerful hardware (see: latest iPod touches/iPhones) but limiting it so badly it can't be used to even half of its potential (see: all iPods/iPhones/99% of other Apple devices).
Since the Orange Box engine will work, it is almost a certainty now.
The only bad thing that will come out of it is the fact that we'll have a bunch of idiot mac fanboys hopping from server to server in addition to all the noobs and minges we already have.
Other than that, it's not too bad.

You're already playing with Mac users using Boot Camp/Parallels/CrossOver/VMware.
i personally think theres going to be a whole bunch of mac vs. pc wars everywhere when this happens.
Yes.
