Mac to get Valve Steam

on 03/09/2010, filed in Home > Apple

Mac owners can finally “enjoy” the wonders of Valve’s Steam gaming service after having PC gamers using Steam for a few years already. From April onwards, Apple-based gamers will be able to enjoy some games such as Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, and the Half-Life series via Steamworks for the Mac. Among all the Steamworks APIs, a new feature has been introduced which is known as Steam Play, enabling customers who purchase the product for the Mac or Windows to play on the other platform without forking out a single cent more. All Valve Steam games will be released at the same time as that on the PC and Xbox 360.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
