Subject: Please put MAC version on Steam

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

I'm trying to get the MAC Version of Halo 1 but its not actually sold new anywhere aside from Ebay and the price is $99.

I'm cool with paying $20 for it but I don't want to pay $99 for it.

For some reason Microsoft is not selling a downloadable version anywhere, and I can't find a legal copy anywhere.

It would be great if at least the MAC version was on Steam, I can only find the PC version for sale.

Yeah but that is annoying its way nicer to get OSX version. Plus I still need to buy Windows.

Its really annoying because it exists but its impossible to purchase.

Plus Halo PC + SC2 will be my only games...I don't use my MAC for gaming really.

They didn't make too many copies of the MAC edition at the time so that's why the price is really high on it. At that time Macs were pretty bad for gaming lol.

MS are missing a trick with not having their older titles available for digital download. Hopefully they'll pick their game up (pun not intended) and get to it.

As for me? Physical copies all the way. :)

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

If you are in school, you can get windows free via dreamspark. And it's not illegal either.

Take a look at a company like Blizzard - they let you input your old CD online and then you're able to download the entire game from them for free. MS really ought to do something similar.

Look at Blizzard. Now look back. Now look again! Activision Blizzard!

Blizzard's changed from the days of Warcraft and Diablo (random: the Blizzard we know today had nothing to do with the Diablo series). Look at some of the moves they've made recently and you'll see what I mean.

The price you pay for putting your key up is that you can't unlink it and thus your game has zero resale value. You hardly needed them to give you that feature to be able to reinstall the game without the discs. Some publishers used to send you new discs for a fee if you had proof of purchase (EA for one).

It's pretty silly how the Mac version is $70 more expensive... I just checked Amazon and got the same result as eBay.

Not only that with blizzard games, but some Battle.net games like Warcraft II or Diablo 1 will not link.
