Great news for the Mac gaming world today… Valve has scattered images around the mac blogosphere teasing us with Mac-like artwork with a caption that says “In anticipation of an upcoming announcement from Valve.”

This. Is. Huge.

We talked about the possibility of a Mac version of Steam (Valve’s distribution platform) last week. We didn’t have much go on, just a few Mac user interface pictures within the latest beta version of Steam. Today, Valve threw caution to the wind and gave us all images to drool over. It appears as though the feud between Apple and Steam is over. Sweet.

Valve is coming to the Mac. There is not doubt about it. That means Steam is coming to the Mac. That’s the only way Valve distributes its software. No more World of Warcraft for us, we might actually see real gaming titles come to our platform of choice. We’re not say that WoW isn’t a real game, but we can only spend a certain amount of time playing the same game over and over again.

There is no estimated release date, but considering the effort poured into these images, we’d expect it to be soon. Very soon.
