But wait, if they don't carry mac games, do the games you pick up on steam (in windows mode) work. Or is it just that they don't work on the Mac OS? Mac stuff is totally a different world to me. Which is weird because I'm like... the only person who works on these sites who doesn't use one.

It is a bummer that Steam doesn't support Mac.

I'd join but I gave up on steam a while ago, sorry.

When running Win7 on a Mac, it's just like you were using a PC, everything runs the exact same way.  They just won't work on Mac OSX itself, the hardware is actually pretty much the same.  Some games do have mac versions, like Machinarium is on OSX and Steam both, but there is zero steam support for OSX. 
 
Which is a shame, as there are plenty of games on Steam that do have Mac versions, which I'd gladly buy via Steam if they let me.

@Addfwyn: That blows, I've really gotten into steam a lot lately too. Its really what's allowed me to stay connected to what little PC gaming I still do. Plus the demo's/sales really make it feel more approachable. Something PC gaming hasn't been in awhile.

DO NOT ACCEPT CHAT INVITES FROM "Admin", HE IS A SPAMMER AND WILL TRY TO GET YOUR LOG IN ID!!!!!!
 
Because of this, I'm going to make this group private now.  If you want to join, send an invite and I will happily accept it.

This is pertinent to your interests. Steam on Mac?

@John_Martone:  
I saw that, I'm very optimistic.  There are actually plenty of games on Steam that do have mac versions (especially stuff in the indie or casual categories) so it wouldn't be as sparse as people think.  If I could play games on mac steam while talking to my steam friends/achievements, that'd be awesome.

I tried to join but it said it's a join by invite only. Here's my page if you can invite me from there.

Bwahah. I'm in your groups, steaming, or something. Well, I was before, but with my new laptop I can use steam all the time, and actually run the PC games I want to play.

Hey, if they do the same steam sales on the Mac version, that could be right around the corner.
