Steam IS coming to OS X

Oh yes, so terribly boring!!

In a very brief press release, Valve Software today announced that the public launch of Steam for Mac OS X is scheduled for May 12th. Officially announced in early March, Steam will bring a major game distribution platform, including Valve's library of popular games, to the Mac.

"Valve today announced the public release of Steam for the Mac is May 12. Please stay tuned for more information."

A closed beta of Steam for Mac has been ongoing with testers initially putting Valve's Portal through its paces. Through Valve's "Steam Play" feature, users will be able to play games on multiple operating systems while only having to purchase each title once.

Valve had initially targeted April for a Steam for Mac release, and the reason for the slight delay beyond the original estimate is currently unknown.

Good news, May will sure be a month for us UK Apple fans. STEAM & iPad (lol) released into the wild.

Anyone want me to gift them HL2 and HL2:Ep1? Maybe there's a Mac user out there that hasn't played them.

If they're still going I'd take them off your hands - only ever played them on Xbox. I'm not sure if the Beta lets you get everything though, I think it might just be Portal, TF2 and MW2 MP demo. Only set up steam yesterday and not really had much of a go yet. Girlfriend's at work today so I'm going to have at it

So can you just play games already in your PC catalogue (the Valve ones) or do you have to rebuy them?

Latter will make me cry...

Valve games will be free for you if you already own them on Steam for PC.

Damn you. I bet that's a sought after account.

I'll add you for some L4D2 goodness.

Sadly not had anyone offering me large sums of wealth, naked ladies or land for it. Knew I should have signed up with something cool...

Awesome, looking forward to some native OS X infected bashing.
