Humodour Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) So yeah. Torchlight and Civ 4 are among the games out for Mac. There's also the typical indie games - World of Goo, etc. Hot stuff since I already own them on Steam! The interesting points are: Portal is free till the 24th, and Valve are working on a Linux client which will be like the Mac client in that games you own in Windows which have a Linux version on Steam will be automatically added to your account (Steam Play). Steam for Mac: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/12/steam-fo...ilable-sort-of/ Steam for Linux: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=arti...ement&num=1 Like on Mac, the Linux Steam client will get all Valve's games, so you'll be able to play things like World of Goo and Portal 2, Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, etc natively on Linux this year.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Don't really care about Mac, I just want to see some games on Linux. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just tried Steam and Osmos on Mac. Downloading Torchlight now. I believe it carries over my Windows save games via Steam Cloud, so that should be awesome. WILL, it's all very well not to care about the Mac, but do you think a Linux port would be viable without a Mac port? Without a Mac port there'd be no OpenGL ports of Source (Portal, etc), so the success of the Mac port of Steam and Steam games is important.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Steam for Linux will be good, glad to see that they're going to try that out. "Geez.

Humodour Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 And there's some issues with the port. I don't know how much I trust that since it's on a hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 A fully-stocked Linux AND Mac version of Steam (ie, they have/get all the games pc-steam does, not some watered down piddly collection) would be the one thing that might get me to start using Steam. Because then I could move away from Windows as a main O/S if I wanted. I don't have anything particularly against Windows at this point, but I like having choices. The kind of gamer I am, for years I haven't felt like I had any. “Things are as they are.

Humodour Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 That includes the two episodes for HL2 and the Orange Box. Eve is also out on Mac. Apparently it's a fun MMO - my work-mates like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
