Valve, a video game development and digital distribution company, will be developing its game distribution service client for the Mac. Today, Steam is only available on the Windows platform. Steam for the Mac has been a rumor up to now until Valve Corporation made an official announcement today that the Mac client will be put out in April. All of you who are playing Valve games on Boot Camp won’t have to go through time-consuming reboots anymore.
Valve’s Source Engine will be ported to the operating system as well, allowing players play the games natively on the Mac platform. Some games that run on the engine include “Counter-Strike”, “Portal”, “Left 4 Dead”, and the “Half-Life” series. In addition, Valve has announced “Portal 2″, the sequel for Portal.
The new Steam client will include a feature, called “Steam Play”, that will allow players to save their game on one platform and switch to the other. Mac users will be able to play on the same game servers as the Windows users on the new Steam client.
Mac is slowly becoming a gaming platform. Today, many games have been released for the Mac even since the Intel processor chips became the mainstream component in Macintosh computers. Porting Steam to the Mac will allow Valve to develop games for multiple platforms.
It’s about time I started the apex entry. This is the early apex. Maybe someday it will reach the ideal line. Drift Apex means “Stray to the highest point” or “The highest point to stray to.” Drift Apex is a website about technology, gaming, and life for the most part, and was founded in 2010. Those three things and its consumption of life has changed over the years. That is what makes those three topics one of the most popular or even interesting topics of them all. At Drift Apex, I would like to provide things that you can work or interact with someday such as games, web scripts, maybe listen to some music productions here and there and anything else that will come along in the future. I call them projects. Drift Apex is part of many social media hubs of which you can find links for on the about page as well as more information about Drift Apex and its authors.
My name is Austin, the founder and webmaster of Drift Apex. I’m blogging to share the knowledge and experience with the topics listed before. If you would like to contact me and share any feedback you might have about Drift Apex you can visit the contact page to send an e-mail over.
Drift Apex is about having fun. Kind of like experiencing runner’s high, there’s a period of time where everything becomes incredibly fun.
