It's a pity OS X 10.6.4 f***ed up the Source graphics performance. Way to go Apple!

you seriously don't have enough hard drive space that you HAVE to uninstall the game?

OK, silly question, first though I'd like to say it's good to see Valve making this stuff available on the Mac, means the same games should work on Linux once Steam is released for Linux.

But my question is, if I purchased a game through Steam for Windows, and then migrate to either Mac (or later Linux) can I install the Mac version of the games I already own, or do I have to re-purchase the games for my new OS?

Cheers.

That's good information to know. Mainly after reading that they're working on a Steam Client for Linux I may very well be finally making a full switch to Linux getting rid of Windows once and for all.

Phoronix: Steam for Linux
Telegraph.co.uk

Valve has also confirmed that it will make Steam available to Linux users in the coming months.

These reports are barely 6 weeks old, looks like fairly good proof to me.

Yeah it works all my PC games that I had purchased off Steam works for my Mac although they are a little slow in some areas;
Dragon Age & Bioshock for instance are out on mac and have been for sometime but yet steam don't offer it for purchase.

Alas I bought L4D2 yesterday for the special knowing that the series is next in line for migration to Mac.
