Valve also introduced SteamPlay alongside Mac Steam support, which meant you could buy the game once, and play it anywhere you liked, whether on Windows or Mac and usually featuring cross-platform multiplayer. Steam gives existing Mac developers (such as Aspyr and Feral) a bigger platform to put their games on, and previously PC-only devs an incentive to add Mac support to their titles. For the uninitiated, Steam is a digital distribution platform to buy, play and manage your games on. Valve, the owners and operators of Steam, fixed this by introducing Steam for Mac in early 2010. Prior to 2010, Steam did not exist for Mac, and while many companies such as Aspyr and Feral Interactive brought us amazing Mac games, there was still a gap in the market.
While Mac gamers today might take Steam and the amount of available games for granted, it was not always so accessible.
