"Valve Software, creators of seminal video games Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more, also owns and operates Steam, one of the most popular PC gaming digital distribution networks. For now that service remains accessible from Windows operating systems only, relegating would-be Mac gamers to dual-booting using Boot Camp or dealing with unsupported access via virtualization software such as Parallels.\nHope might be on the horizon, however, thanks to a series of cryptic images Valve has been sending to various gaming outlets today. Each is a clever play on notable Mac ads, from a Half-Life-themed tribute to the Apple 1984 commercial to a Portal-flavored riff on the iconic \"I'm a Mac\" ad series.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOf course it's not official confirmation that Valve is developing Steam for the Mac, but it's an awfully strong hint. Plus, with the annual Game Developers Conference just around the corner next week, it's also an incredibly convenient time to be building some buzz for a big announcement of this magnitude.\nIn other words, Mac gamers should sit tight and stay tuned: hope is definitely still alive. Would you be excited about Steam (and some great titles from Valve) for the Mac?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
