A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Valve said we would be getting Steam on Mac in April. That's it. Whats the deal. I'm checking every other hour lately. I'd think in 2010 I wouldn't have to do this.
I think it was only recently (the beginning of April) that the client went into closed beta. I signed up the other day after learning that. You can bet it at least won't be out until the finalization of the current UI update (which was probably started in the first place so that the client could become more OS agnostic). I'm just as impatient for it though. I really want to play some Valve games on my Mac without the cumbersome, buggy use of virtualization software or Wine.

You assume he isn't a fan already? There happens to be people out there who have been playing Valve games since '04 and after Left 4 Dead came out, moved onto a Mac (me). He also might own both a PC and a Mac! Who knows!? Perhaps he just expects that Valve has finally gotten on its feet with announcing things. After all, Left 4 Dead 2 came out within 6 months of it being announced.
@systech: I'm just a Team Fortress 2 die hard and I wish I played more. Steam on Mac will really let me start to ween my self away from my PC. Its the PC's fault, it did this to itself.
