The text says "Windows-only" but after I added the Steam keys on my Mac client, it seems to be downloading the games to my Mac just fine.

edit: After downloading the 9GB game the Mac Steam client just tells me that I cannot play it on my platform.




That's by design of Steam. You can still download games that are not supported on your platform that is running Steam. It's actually convenient as you can utilize faster connection other than where you play the game, and then export and haul the data on your thumb drive to be installed on the machine you play the game.
