Rumor: Valve wanted $1 million advance for Half-Life 2 for Mac
Why doesn’t Valve care about Mac gaming? Gabe Newell says "there’s never any follow through on any of the things [Apple says] they’re going to do." Inside Mac Gaming has a slightly different interpretation on that, claiming that Valve’s terms for bringing Half-Life 2 to the Mac OS involved a $1 million advance payment from whomever was handling the port, a big buy-in for a game that would sell exclusively to the Mac gamer demographic.
