Limitations of Steam for Mac

Hi,

Just so that people know...;

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5376-EOSB-3763

Cheers!

As I myself do have a Macbook for my wife I decided to take a look at how Steam would work on it and found out this really annoying limitation:
Steam requires specific directories to be created with read-write access

The link name does not though state my issue, it's the "case insensitive filesystem" that made Steam uninstallable onto that Macbook. Yeah, I know that's not the default selection, but I like case sensitivity on my filesystems.

My Mac has an NVidia GeForce 7300 GT. Therefore Steam's source games won't work on my mac, which is a problem as that includes all but one of my steam games.

I'll stick with Crossover.
