Does this mean PC games on Mac? Pardon my ignorance.
- acj 17y agoYes and no. Valve is porting some of its existing PC/Xbox game titles to run natively on the Mac platform, and most (or all?) of their new titles will be released simultaneously on PC, Mac, and XBox 360.
- e1ven 17y agoFurther, Valve is bring it's "App Store for Games" to the Mac, which will encourage other game publishers to port to the Mac, and give them a solid sales-platform to do so on.
- dkasper 17y agoCarrying that train of thought further, they should integrate with Apple's App Store. Everyone on a mac uses iTunes anyway, why should they have to install Steam separately?
- simonw 17y agoBecause Valve don't have to give Apple a cut when people buy through Steam.
- nkohari 17y agoSteam is more than just an app store, though. It's a social network, provides automatic updates for games, etc.
- cookiecaper 17y agoFor the record, when I use OS X, I don't use iTunes.
