Civilization V for Mac released on Steam

Valve have officially announced that the long awaited Civilization V for Mac is now available for download on Steam. There was some debate as to whether the game would be released on Steam although it’s still not clear whether Windows owners of the game will also get Steam for Mac free via SteamPlay. It seems likely that SteamPlay users that have already purchased it on Windows will get it for free, judging by the response the developers Aspyr got when they posed this question to fans.
