Not surprising at this stage of the console life cycle. Xbox 360 growth is flattening so they look to PC games for additional revenue. It won't last long. They'll turn all of their attention back to the next gen Xbox in a couple of years.

Because even though the market for Mac games is pretty much non-existent right now, Valve sees that there's potential to make a decent profit.
The Mac customer base is small but growing. If you go to macrumors.com, you'll see that the announcement generated a lot of interest. And Valve knows how many of their customers are using Steam though Boot Camp on a Mac. If they can convince large publishers like EA to get on board, they can lock up digital distribution of games on that platform. Plus they might want to get in now before Apple starts thinking about an iPhone like App Store for the Mac.

I'm also excited to try their little facebook version, now i can finally span stupid shit to everyone who has been telling me about their fucking sheep on their farm.
And even after I blocked that farm crap, I still see stupid shit like this every single day.
"I STILL NEED 6 BRICKS & 3 HARNESSES FOR MY STABLE!!!I HOPE SOME OF MY FARMVILLE FRIENDS CAN HELP OUT!!!"
Civ spamming will be fun.  |

It all depends on what restrictions users are willing to live with. With Steam, you have to deal with online authentication and the possibility that some day the service and your purchased games may no longer be available. The upside is the portability. I can run Steam and download my games anywhere I go.
For me, the trade off is worth it. But I understand if some people don't feel the same way. I'm not willing to accept the SecuROM limited installs so I won't buy those games. There's plenty of other ways to spend my money.
