Technical K.O.?

Valve's Steam service now runs on Mac OS X. So now you can almost do everything on Mac that you can on a PC.

A couple of things come to mind...
  1. In general, Macbook or iMac owners are not into PC gaming. At best, they'll download Peggle or something.
  2. Anything you can run on OS X can be done just as well on Windows PC. Or better. And cheaper.
I'm genuinely happy to see the video game market expand. Really, I am. But the fact remains that modern games on Mac OS doesn't suddenly shift all the power in Apple's favor. In terms of affordability and utility, PCs win by a long shot and always have.

At least Valve has a good sense of humor about it. Show 'em what's what, Saxton Hale!
