"This means a gamer can play the PC version of a game via Steam Play, then continue on the Mac version without having to pay extra."

Good job Valve. This is correct.

Valve once again shows that they are thinking way ahead of everybody else in the industry. This is going to open up a huge new share of potential consumers, literally millions of people who weren't able to play their games can do so now. Blizzard is one of the only long-running companies to ever develop games that are PC and Mac compatible and I think the success of WoW shows how well that ended up turning out in the long run. This can only be a good move for Valve. I'm also happy because now I can get rid of the XP partition on my laptop and play Valve games natively. Not that I really need to anymore but it would still be nice to free up that 30GB that I have only kept as a backup in case something goes wrong with my desktop.

Might start taking my laptop to LANs when this is released, just for convenience sake.

Yeah, this is a huge change for the media industry as a whole for content providers. People want their content on more than just 1 device and consumers are demanding these providers to cater to them. We this with Blu-rays doubling as DVDs. DVDs and Blu-rays coming with digital downloads for other devices. Netflix streaming to just about anything with internet. Media players streaming to devices with video and music.

I still remember the day when the music/movie industry insisted on you buying a copy for every device. That's not flying so well anymore.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of game publishers, movie studios and record labels that are not falling in line. We'll see where they end up.
