What a way to start off the GDC today, with some of the biggest news in gaming history! Yesterday Valve announced, (which is completely out of left field, lol) that they are in fact porting Steam to us Mac fanboys. After all the teaser posters we saw last week, it is finally happening! It looks that the first release will be Portal 2, which will be released to both Mac and Windows computers, and then it is on to their more popular titles this Spring.
Not only will the games work on the Mac OS, but it also looks like the cross-platforming will go above and beyond, if you had any Left4Dead saves, or the purchased game, it will swap to the Mac OS, no re-buying the game, just download Steam’s ‘Steam Play’ which will allow the cross-platform migration, so it will work natively on the Mac side. Same goes for Left4Dead 2. We’ll even be able to play head-to-head with PC gamers, we aren’t going to have to deal with our half crowded servers, we’ll actually be able to play with the Windows users, probably giving them more n00bs to pwn since most of the Mac users probably don’t dualboot to Boot Camp just to play video games.
This is some of the best news I have heard in a long time. It looks like my Windows Boot Camp install might go neglected for a really long time 
I hope you all are as excited as me, or am I alone at this blog?? As soon as this is final, and working, Counter Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2 parties all night long!
