I was recently on the App Store and I noticed there a quite a few games available for the Mac now days, but for some reason Steam only has the PC versions. Since my PC is down I can't play over half the games I own on steam.

I would really like it if steam would get the following games, which are on the App Store already:

Empire Total War
Rome Total War
Batman Arkham Asylum
Deus Ex Human Revolution Ultimate Edition
Bioshock 2
Company of Heroes
Doom 3
Tropico 3
Tomb Raider Underworld
Mafia II

Great idea i am so tired of seeing all those pc games :(

I think you would have to ask the developers/publishers for those games; I imagine Valve would be more than happy to distribute Mac versions if possible.

Indeed; I'm pretty sure it's a matter of a separate porting team having the rights to distribute the Mac version, instead of one company making both versions.

Can someone at Valve talk to Black Mesa team, I'd like there to be more mods compatible with source games on mac.

The new software deals on Steam have finally pushed me back towards a pc for work and gaming. While the mac is great at some things, I cannot ignore so many great games anymore!

He doesn't want a new game he just wants to play his games he already owns on his mac. Don't wanna buy a new one

Considering that I pretty much have to have a Mac for work and have over $2.5K in software for it, plus I hate PCs, I don't think I'm going to switch anytime soon. I am running wine which allows me to play about 30% of the PC games I already own as if they where native Mac games, but Why can't Steam just get he Mac games that already exist and don't need a work around?

I would think it would be Valves job to contact the Devs since they are the one's selling the product not me. If they want to pay me as an employee, I would be happy to do it for them.

I've noticed the same thing! It is odd that Steam would have so many games (not to mention high profile award winning games) as "PC only" when official mac ports exist and are being sold digitally. I prefer steam naturally because of the steam sales, achievements and community, and the fact that Steam doesn't include BS ports of mobile games like Apple does to pad their catalog. It looks like Apple will be getting my gaming money since they are selling more titles for Mac than Steam that I really want to play. Give us more older mac game ports Steam so I can give you my money! :P

really want dayz for mac

Considering how mac currently has about ~2.86% control on steam's platform. I don't think valve cares all that much.
