Mac fans rejoice, you can now spend money instantly on awesome deals without using wine. Unfortunately everyone on *nix (like me) still has to hack through it.

Also, free portal giveaway until may 24. Awesome game, fun little physics puzzle game with cake, but everyone probably already knows. I'm just gonna add it to my steam collection =D

People use macs?

Ahem, that's great news for people who use mac.

I'm considering getting a mac for my mom... she is pretty technologically challenged. OSX is pretty and doesn't let you break anything unless you really really know what your doing as far as I could tell (DELETE SYSTEM 32 ITS WORTHLESS AND TAKES UP ALL YOUR SPACE).

Just be happy for the mac users and take joy in the fact that you get free portal because of them.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

No, you get free portal because Valve wants to give something away to help promote Steam ... or perhaps something to do with the HL franchise.

It's hardly something to thank Mac users, or Apple, for. Might as well pour a libation into the wine-dark sea.

You can't break things without admin rights on vista/7 either. At least not without knowing what you're doing.

But, I already have portal and good luck for the mac users.

I TAKE OFFENSE AT THIS!

a better question would be "sane people use macs without being forced to?"

They tear the blindfold off and you see the table, and the bare bulb swinging above. The grim man steps into the pool of light and sits across from you.

He picks up the Mac SE from the floor and places it on the table and reaches for the electrodes.

Is it only free UNTIL the 24th, whereas then you have to pay?

I believe if you download it before the 24th, you get it free forevers. usually how these things work on steam.

As someone who paid $50 for The Orange Box, I feel highly insulted.

[MrWiggles]

This thread is quite sticky with self wankery and jpeg of their OS on the screen. Ew.

Are you serious?   Orange Box came out over two years ago and was Portal, along with TF2, HL2 and episode 1 and 2.

I would be highly insulted if i bought it for $50 too, seeing as its only $30

Edit: Also, the other games in the Orange Box are worth far more than $30 without Portal, so really valve is just being nicer than before

I bought portal full price on steam few months ago, and I still don't feel insulted. good game, worth its money. I think free portal is a way to advertise portal 2
