Gaming for Mac users is getting better and better. Sure, we’re red headed step children in the gaming world, but at least we’re getting recognized. On Tuesday, things will get even better as Quake Live will be available for both Mac and Linux.

The announcement was made by id President Todd Hollenshead during the QuakeCon 2009 press conference and attendees will be able to play the new versions on the show floor. The rest of us will just have to wait a few days for the change to play the browser-based shooter. Free online gaming FTW.
