A quick Google search only brings up sites with flash type games. A lot of good older games were Mac compatible. Like all the SimCity games, and the older Fallout games. Where can I find these for digital download?

If there was Apple would run it since they are control freaks.

Steve Jobs wants you to Bootcamp Windows and install Steam that way.

atthis point in time a steam like service for MAC would not really be possible.

There is so few MAC native games that such a service could not stay in buisness (they have to get money from somewhere).

Ideally there will be something like steam on the mac platform in some point in time.

haahahahahahahahahahaha

hahahhahahhahaahahahahahah

oh i cant stop laughing...Is this a real question?I mean for real?Is this a real question or are you trying to be funny?

Before u search on google for useless stuff...search on how many MAC games are out there and how useless is a MAC OS(asumeing that ur not mentally ill,then the answer is yes MAC OS's are usless and expensive...exactly in this order,useless-->expensive)...then you will have the answer to your question.

Point is... there is no finacial value for/or no purpose in a "Steam like" program for MAC because there are no games developed for MAC OS(with few exception)wich will worth buy...so whats the point in opening a store if u dont have nothing to sell?

P.S. Seriously who do you think is playing or whants to play the original Fallout this days.Ofc beshide you :)

Grow up. I have a Mac for its video editing as I am in film. Industry standard.

If you dont want to answer the question, why spend time posting anything in response at all?

I think it would make perfect sense for Steam itself to offer a few games in Mac compatibility. Their bigger games are Mac compatible anyway.

No not really. Macs aren't meant for gaming.

True, but it doesnt mean they cant do it. Sims 3 works great, WOW, Bioshock, Command and Conquer Red Alert 3. I just want a good digital download site.

You know, I'd think Apple would want in on that. You'd think they'd try harder to get gaming to Macs.

I would think they wanted gaming on their machines too. You neve know it could work out nicely.

Just do what every other mac user does and install windows. That way you can have steam and all the games you want then switch back to mac and do whatever it is you people do on those things.

Looks like Steam just announced full Mac support for all of their upcoming games. Sweet! Does that mean even non-Mac compatible games? :shock: How would that work?
