Yes, they&#8217;re pointing at releases of Half-Life and Team Fortress 2 for Mac, probably announced at the Game Developers Conference later this month. (Well, hopefully.) If they really are teasing Mac releases of those franchises, that&#8217;s saying something huge about Valve, and their decision to adopt Mac as a full-fledged platform. I mean, Valve hasn&#8217;t even touched the PS3, and now they&#8217;re developing for Mac?<\/p>\n<p>Steam for Mac would be one thing: It&#8217;s the best digital delivery for PC games around (well, except when my pre-load for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 <em>never showed up<\/em>), and gaining a foothold on the Mac for distribution would make a certain level of sense, even if Valve wasn&#8217;t developing Mac games themselves. (Though it&#8217;s also inherently fascinating that the two truest PC gaming companies, in a sense, Valve and Blizzard, are now developing for the Mac, if Valve&#8217;s really onboard. )<\/p>\n<p>If I could play TF2 on my MacBook Pro without having to boot into Windows, keep all of my Steam settings and games intact and synced across platforms (without repurchasing!), I just might need to change my pants. PC gaming isn&#8217;t dying, apparently, it&#8217;s moving to Macs. (That&#8217;s a joke.)
