If they support the game then they support the create a server option in the game which usually means that the server tool will support it too.

I actually laughed when I saw the word "Mac" in the title. No I don't have a mac, no I never will have a mac, and I think porting SM to Mac would increase the amount of n00bs asking redundant questions significantly. If it were up to me, I'd keep SM at Linux and Windows only, no mac. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah, I do. Plan on nuking my Win7 partition when the OS X version of Steam comes out and moving back over full-time.

Probably won't run a server on it, since my TF2 server's on a hosting company, but having the option out there will never hurt anything.

I don't think catering to it is a bad idea but I guess it depends on how many people would run Mac servers (which I guess is what you are trying to find out!).

Running a poll on this subject here is obviously a poor idea. Everyone who uses this forum has a PC, and many have no reason to switch to using a Mac. This new Steam feature is about opening up to a new untapped market - they don't use this forum yet.

Bailopan, don't you use a mac? If so, wouldn't that make testing easier AND faster for you? If you could just run the server, game and any other needed tools natively.

I doubt it

They might do listen servers but mac has no market in dedicated servers so I doubt the DS will be ported. No where have they said they are going port the tools (programs under the tools tab) also.
