It seems as if Half-Life and Left 4 Dead 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, indicating that the studio is indeed doing as much.

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

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…
Why Steam? Well for two great reasons…
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.
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… )
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).
