Valve, the wonderful maker of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, has finally brought its Steam games platform to Mac. I went from having every game at my disposal to nearly nothing when I made the switch, and situations haven’t really improved even with the Intel chips or other “Oh good, now we can game!” hardware and driver decisions.įinally, though, there is a light at the end of the tunnel – and this one isn’t an oncoming train. Whatever the cause though, it’s been a frustrating path to say the least. PCs, along with cost-benefit calculations, etc. I’m sure it has much more to do with the low percentage of Mac users vs. It’s almost as if people consider gaming on the Mac to be a waste of precious and fashionable CPU cycles. You know, fripparies like stability!Īll joking aside, we who use Apple as our day-to-day OS have often been disappointed, shall we say, with our game selection.
Those of us who make the plunge almost always have a particular itch that only OS X or even the overpriced hardware (8-bit laptop displays, anyone?) can scratch. Choosing a Mac over PC is very much a black and white thing – either you get it, or you don’t.
I guess that some days, it’s pretty easy to see why – Apple, and Steve Jobs in particular, doesn’t always do a lot to ingratiate itself with the public at large. Here at Techgage, I’m the lone Mac lover.
