All Macs with a GPU have OpenGL 2.1, only the Intel GMA chips have 1.4 or 2.0, but they won't run LE anyway:

LE is using GLSL 1.20. GLSL 1.4 belongs to OpenGL 3.1.

I'm still not sold just because Valve is porting some games. How many years after these games have been released did it take them to port? This almost sounds more like PR than anything else. Maybe get some more Mac users on Steam or something.

My laptop card nVidia FX 570M has only OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL 1.20, and LE 2.3 works fine, even pretty fast. I think GLSL 1.3 comes with OpenGL 3.0.

well... there are enough mac starved gamers out there who'd like to see some native apps for their high priced machines that'll allow them to run, hide, hunt, and kill zombies... just like their counterparts in the pc world...

 

and as small as one might think the market is, a small fish could do verrrrrry well in that small pond... like thousands of sales...

 

just an unsubstantiated opinion...
