It seems as if Half-Life<\/i> and Left 4 Dead<\/i> developer Valve is looking for a few good men to engineer things for Linux and Macintosh. Several sleuth sites, as well as more than a share of Mac-focused sites, have been reporting on a rogue sentence not-so-tucked-away in Valve’s Chris Green’s LinkedIn profile<\/a>, indicating that the studio is indeed doing as much.<\/p>\n

‘I work at Valve,’ it reads. ‘You should work at Valve.’ A hard enter. ‘REALLY looking for senior Linux (plus) Mac engineers.’<\/p>\n

This would be really nice, after all, I use Steam for the majority of my Windows gaming, and it would be excellent, if I could use Steam on the Mac side as well…<\/p>\n
Why Steam? Well for two great reasons…<\/p>\n
One, the weekly sales… Yes, I don’t always find something that I want in this weeks sales, but when they are interesting titles, it’s usually a price point I am willing to purchase at.<\/p>\n
Two, I never need media, and can’t lose the media. I have a 5 year old, I won’t count the DVDs that I can’t find, or that were damaged by here (Okay, I lie, it was less than 6… but, you get the point…And the cat’s have destroyed 2… )<\/p>\n
The only risk is that Steam may close up shop, but they have a good track record… Or that Time Warner starts quota-ing, which could reduce my desire to purchase through Steam (due to potential bandwidth charges when downloading the games initially). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
