Either Source will be run with a wrapper akin to WINE or Valve have created an OpenGL render path. Hmm. I'd rather have Linux support though I'm aware of how it would be next to impossible for Valve to offer support for all the possible Linux distros.

Now confirmed. Runs on OpenGL. Cross-platform gaming. If you own a Valve game on PC, you'll get the mac license for free a'la Blizzard style.

BEST. COMPANY. EVAHRRRRR!1

Shit me. Valve had dropped something here that will go down in history as something incredibly substantial! I wonder if it would be possible to somehow run the OpenGL version of Source through Linux?

[Gloglebag]

Meh, rather have them focus on something important like finishing EP3.

It has always amused me how they said with episodic portions they would be able to release more frequently. Would this be down to them using old tech like everyone mentions?

[Defrag]

Well, considering Half-Life was released in 1973 and Half-Life 2 came out in ~2004, they have released more frequently

[Pampers]

at first Gabe said they were planning on releasing an episode every three months

Now all I want to see is 1973 Gordon Freeman.

Also in honor of steam here is a 7 year old thread about how much steam sucks.

The comments are better than the post. Coincidentally this forum is almost exactly as old as steam.

Even though it's a slightly tame video of Steam running on OSX, then I hunger so much for that I'll take it in any way I can

And as a response to that!

OpenGL, really?

Not that I give a rat's ass about Mac, but that's really really nice.
