Steam for Mac Sets Portal Free - UPDATED

[OceanRunner]

A great game for free?! MAC USERS HAVE NO EXCUSE!!!

While you really should've played Portal by now, for anyone that hasn't this is pretty awesome. Also, good news for Mac gamers I guess. Why you'd want to game on a Mac is beyond me, but there you go.

Well, Macs are typically not gaming platforms. But it's nice to have a bit of distraction on them.
btw: Nice Rincewind Avatar.

I certainly enjoyed Portal on my 360, and now I'm playing it on my MacBook. Really great game.

Hey guys, like all good things Valve, the promotional video for the Aperture Science giveaway is here, less than 24 hours late! Given the source, that's really not too bad. Check it out in the original post or, for you lazy forum types, right here!

Yay, I finally get to play Portal.

Dang, and I already bought it on my PC Steam account...

I'm tempted to uninstall my current copy of Portal just so I can download this.

Well, uninstalling Portal doesn't remove it from your account, so you still couldn't download the "free" version. (not that it matters if you've already bought it) On a side note though, anyone who already has Portal, Team Fortress 2, or any other game that'll utilize Steam Play will also have the Mac versions of said game. So, essentially, you can play any of them on your PC or Mac without having to repurchase.

Finally, my Steam account shall be for more than Sins of a Solar Empire and the Plants vs. Zombies Demo!

And here I thought I was the only one to play Sins through my Steam account instead of Impulse.

From now on, the word "Valve" can be used also as an adjective.

Valve [valv], /vælv/
-adjective
1. Totally awesome.
2. Pure win.

Examples: "Firetrucks are so Valve!", "I had such a Valve day today!"

I lol'd.

I really don't get Valve. They are literally giving games away for free now. Why are they so awesome?

I expected to see a free give away like this on mainstream news. Obviously the media has failed me again.
