Valve has singlehandedly reinvigorated the Mac gaming world by making its Steam content delivery service compatible with the Mac. It has been steadily populating the service with Mac-friendly versions of its mega-popular games; however, apparently that isn't enough. Now Valve is going to help other developers make Mac games, by releasing elements of its graphics code.
Business development director Jason Holtman told GamesIndustry.biz that Valve will release some code to developers signed on with the company's Steamworks infrastructure, in order to expedite the development of Mac games (and thus speed up the population of Steam). "So our Steamworks partners will have access to some of the hard work that we do to get our games up on Mac," Holtman said, "and they'll be able to incorporate that into their games -- and our hope is it gets them there faster."
Holtman also provided clues as to the success of Steam's Mac edition, stating that "we're seeing between a 15 and 20 percent increase in games that have a Mac version on Steam." It turns out that Mac owners will buy games if they're available!

Εννοείται ρε τσακάλια ότι οι Apple χρήστες αγοράζουν περισσότερο απ' ότι οι φθηνιάρηδες και απατεώνες Windows και Linux χρήστες. ΕΝΝΟΕΙΤΑΙ!!!
Ακόμη και όταν αυτοί οι φθηνιάρηδες γίνουν Mac χρήστες καταλαβαίνουν τι σημαίνει να είσαι Mac χρήστης και αλλάζουν τις κακές συνήθειές τους. Όχι όλοι αλλά αρκετοί από αυτούς.
Βλέπετε, αν μάθεις μια ζωή να είσαι σκουλήκι δύσκολα γίνεσαι μετά πεταλούδα. Εκτός αν είσαι κάμπια. Εκεί έχεις κάποιες ελπίδες. Τα σκουλήκια όμως. Δύσκολα. Πολύ δύσκολα.
Κατά τα άλλα ελπίζω η Valve να μην μεταφέρει τις αηδίες που κάνει η ίδια της ή που κάνουν οι περισσότερες Windows PC εταιρίες στα Mac. ΟΧΙ άλλο κάρβουνο. Έλεος!
