Steam for Mac (unofficially) released

It's very likely that in just a few hours STEAM for Mac will be officially released with the corresponding games, until then you can grab the download here and play Portal! :P, although OpenGL doesn't run as fast on Mac/Linux as DirectX does on Windows, so don't expect better or the same performance as on Windows:

Weird, some games are missing, like Team Fortress 2 :S

Yeah, TF isnt being released for a while, Dunno why..

But yeah, Ima stick to windoze tbh :)

Engadget summarizes this nicely:

"All but identical to the pc version... except you can't buy anything."

I still downloaded it, nontheless. Quite useless to me until TF2 comes out.

Portal is free until the 24th of May.

It's official now, I had it before it was official and the store wouldn't work :( Now it does though xD

Never would've noticed, cheers Niall!

Love the new UI but for some reason my downloads are even slower and news/updates pages don't load correctly.

Why's Portal free?

I dual boot Windows on my MacBook anyway and I'd rather boot into Windows to game, but this is good news for the Mac only users!
