Those pictures are great. :lol:

With Steam on board Mac gameing might life up a little bit ;]

Now the mac fanboys are gonna eat this up and think that their games are gonna look better than someone who custom builds their pc. Well i hope this works out for the best for MAC lovers.

Good for them, hopefully this will encourage more support.

Porting between PC and Mac is likely a lot easier than between PC and consoles. Bringing gaming to Mac could expand the computer gaming audience, which in turn would attract more development because of the higher potential sales.

Doesn't matter if is related to Mac computers because Mac OS is a in terms of gaming a dead and buried platform.

But can be relevant if is related to iPhone/iPod/iPad since these platforms had some gaming potential.

only game i have ever bough for my mac is Red Alert 3. other then that anything else i want to play i play on the 360/Ps3. none the less its a good move and hopefully some casuals jump on and buy a game or two

Seems pointless to me. Macs can already run windows and no one really buys a mac with gaming in mind. For one the gaming hardware cost at least 3x as much as a PC.Jamex1987

There one diffrence, Mac have specified set of hardware and if you devlop something for it you can optimize it to that set ;] Console hardware already is old still games are poping up for it.

Also keep im mind if someone buy Mac it usally to get fully functional OS X, not to install Windows on it

Not like Left 4 Dead 2 is coming to the PlayStation 3, though. :(
