I am tempted to buy the special edition, though knowing you have indicated that you will eventually be releasing NS2 on the Mac, I would like to know whether I will be eligible for the Mac version at no cost as with SteamPlay titles? The answer will unlikely effect my decision, though I just would like to have the heads up :)

    It's likely that if they did port to Mac it would be similar to most of the Source games that Valve have ported across. Basically buying a license for the game entitles you to play on either platform, I can't see it being any different now Steam is available on OS X :)

    They have mentioned that their core engine code can be swapped out for OpenGL fairly easily. So porting to the Mac/Linux isn't a huge problem, they just don't have the time right now to do it.

    Also, I agree that your purchase should carry over to the Mac.
