![]() ![]() ![]() Oh hey guys, if we don't include this old code here, all the old games will stop working, the users will blame the game companies, and we'll sell a TON of new hardware and new games on our app market! Y'know the new expensive ones that people aren't buying because they'd prefer to play through such blockbuster title's as HL2. It's a little game we play in the industry called,Īpple or MS Dev trying to make a name for himself: You bought the hook, line, the sinker, AND the brooklyn bridge at that point. Talk about backwards thinking! You've drank the koolaid and I suspect it's too late for you to get good technical representation. they expect valve to COMPLETELY redevelop their 8-15 year old software stack so it can support their new BS driver they prefer now. What happened to the philosophy that if you CAN keep it backwards compatible without too much trouble, you should! I mean, how hard would it be for the mac dev team to include openGL and 32bit support as a downloadable compatibility package? NOT hard!īut if you read the comments, instead of them adding a SIMPLE option to download and opt to use old code for a game to work properly. This is CLEARLY intended to steer users to new hardware and software. In addition, all three Half-Life 2 titles support Steam Cloud-"allowing players to save their game progress on one computer, then seamlessly resume from that save point on another computer (Mac or PC)"-while Half Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One have been updated on both PC and Mac to include new Steam Achievements.My favorite part of the MacOS user comments is how they blame the developers of old software, for an OS choosing NOT to be backwards compliant. Those that already own any of the Half-Life 2 titles via Steam PC will be able to download the respective Mac edition for free, thanks to a feature called SteamPlay that enables "customers to purchase a game once and play it on all Steam supported platforms." To commemorate the occasion, Steam has discounted all three Half-Life 2 titles by 30%, making Half-Life 2 $6.99, Episode One $5.59 and Episode Two $5.59. The Mac editions of Valve's celebrated shooters Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One and Half-Life 2: Episode Two are now available through the digital distribution platform, while Tyrannis-the lastest update to CCP's space-faring MMO EVE Online-will hit "later today" and marks "Steam's first day-and-date release for the Mac and PC." ![]() The Half-Life 2 Collection and EVE Online: Tyrannis represent this week's latest additions to the Steam for Mac digital distribution platform, operator Valve has announced. ![]()
