Quake Live is going downloadable, dropping Mac/Linux

Today in the good news/bad news department...

Good news: Quake Live is finally getting out of your browser and into a downloadable game. Even though it always worked fine, having to go to the site to launch always seemed odd and added a few steps.

Bad news: As part of the transition, they're dropping support for Mac and Linux. The browser plugin they previously used was cross-platform so they didn't have to maintain three versions of the game, but rather than putting a little more effort in to support everyone, they're skipping Mac and Linux.

You all missed out on some fun! With the exception of the people who kept reciting lyrics from Gangnam Style, the Quake Live games were a blast, and my first real L4D experience was exactly what I had hoped for.

Quake Live was a blast! I still love the rocket launcher!

Left 4 Dead stole the show for me though. After about the 3rd wave we started I was really digging the game and the strategy of it. I really enjoyed helping people and healing, which is odd as I don't particularly like playing the medic in TF games.
