    Before you could develop for Mac... I think you just had to pay a fee (It was been a while :p )

    Nope. Xcode is free, UDK is free. Publishing is not.

    Well no one can deny that the Mac Platform is dramatically increasing as a viable gaming option. Portal 1&2 are some of my favorite games and i can play them on my macbook pro. We already have Valve + Steam and now we get Epic + Unreal Engine? Fantastic :)

    Having Unreal Engine means nothing. There is Unreal on iOS too, but exactly how many devs use it? Less than a handful. As of now there simply aren't enough Mac users out there to justify making AAA games.

    Considering PC Gaming as a whole makes up for ~25-30% of all game sales...that would mean 3% is Mac.

    Valve is taking an initiative, yes, but I doubt anyone will follow them.
