[release]Last week, Valve Software generated some excitement among gaming fans who noticed Mac OS X menu components and other items in the most recent release of the company's Steam distribution platform for the PC. Combined with reports of Valve recruiting Mac engineers, the evidence suggested that Valve may be planning to make a move into the Mac platform.
MacRumors today received a teaser image from Valve appearing to show Gordon Freeman, protagonist of Valve's Half-Life video game series, with an Apple logo on his chest. The image was accompanied with the following explanation: "In anticipation of an upcoming announcement from Valve."
Valve has not offered any additional information on what we can expect from them or when more news might be available beyond "soon".
Update: MacNN received a different teaser image showing robotic characters from other Valve games mimicking Apple's "Get a Mac" ads starring Justin Long and John Hodgman. The report suggests that we may see an announcement at next week's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The image here represent turrets from Team Fortress 2 and Portal:

The presence of six dots along the bottom of the images, apparently for navigation reference, suggests that an additional four teaser images may have been sent to other outlets.[/release]
Valve fanboys are already annoying enough, so I can't imagine how awful the new breed that reproduces with Apple would be.
Choosing one of the pics as my desktop background now...

PC > Mac
It fits perfect.
Maybe they're just joking about Mac support and we're actually getting Episode 3 on Friday?
Would've been nicer if it was slightly less obvious. Ah well!
I wonder if every single Steam game will be Mac-compatible on launch day?

That's silly. Unless you mean all (source engine) Valve games. That would be an acceptable guess.
:saddowns:
EP1S0D3 3 DELAYED BY 6 YEARS SO WE CAN GIVE MAC SUPART
/:saddowns:
They said they delayed episode 3 because they were working on the engine, well...
*Episode 3, coming to PC and MAC*
Maybe that's why we haven't heard much about Episode 3, it's gonna be Mac compatible.
fuckin :ninja:

This seems the most likely.
Just imagine if EP3 was Mac only.
Of course I get boxes. I WAS JOKING.
*sigh*

That would never happen
This is like saying Heavy Rain should be a NES-only game

Ah I get it. Best one.
Shouldn't the Francis image say "iHate different"?

Well the gameplay would be better and it would actually be more entertaining to play.
I will say again
[quote]It's funny because TF2 sentries can be upgraded, and portal turrets (Macs) cant. [/quote]

TF2 turret is PC, destroyed by bullets/fire/sappers/rockets etc.
Portal turret is mac, destroyed by knocking it on its side.

Sentries can be repaired but destroyed in all sorts of ways, portal turrets can simply be picked up and work dandy?

There is a Sentry version of the pistol.
Sentry wins.
Yay, this means Linux support can't be far behind, at least in Valve Time.
