Valve Confirms Mac Versions of Steam, Valve Games

Posted by Soulskill on Monday March 8, 2010 @09:06AM from the branching-out-to-the-apple-tree dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Gamasutra: "Valve will release a version of its Steam digital distribution service for Mac next month, along with Mac-native versions of its own games, the company confirmed today after days of hints — and owners of Valve games will have access to both platform versions. The Source engine, which Valve uses to develop all its internal titles and also licenses to third-party developers, will incorporate OpenGL in addition to DirectX, to allow Mac support for all Source developers. ... 'We are treating the Mac as a tier-1 platform, so all of our future games will release simultaneously on Windows, Mac, and the Xbox 360,' said Cook. 'Updates for the Mac will be available simultaneously with the Windows updates.'"

Re:PS3 not tier one? by bonch · 2010-03-08 13:58 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Yes, let's claim Microsoft paid off Valve so they wouldn't port to the PS3 in an article on Valve announcing ports to the Mac. Did Microsoft just forget to send the anti-Mac check or what?
