Bringing Steam to Mac will give gamers several cross-platform benefits, Newell said.
If players already own the PC versions of Valve games, they’ll get Mac versions at no extra charge through a feature called Steam Play.
By using the Steam Cloud feature that the company introduced in 2008, players can save in-progress games online, then call up those saved games no matter which version they’re playing. If you’re playing Half-Life 2 on your home PC but then head out on the road with your MacBook, you can continue your game-in-progress.
And they’ll run natively, not through emulation.
Wow. This is huge.
