With the release of EVE Online: Tyrannis we are delighted to announce that EVE is now available for the Mac platform via Steam. The announcement on the Steam website includes a direct link to the Tyrannis trailer and client download.

Does this involve a native mac client for EVE, or just a different way of accessing EVE servers with the same old client?
Frankly, I'm wondering why we should use steam at all.

Does using steam mean we do not need the baggage from cider/wineserver? In other words, is steam a different virtual machine than the mac client we download from Eve? If I could run the pc client via steam, I would.

No, Steam is just a delivery method. Same client, just in a different wrapping.
CCPs goal is most likely to reach more potential customers. The PC version is also distributed through Steam, most likely for a similar purpose.

So, is there a way to add EVE to your Steam account without buying a *new* EVE subcription?
I'll bite the bullet and pay a month or two through Steam if that's required, but at this point in the state of EVE (a. k. a. Tyrannis) I'm not mentally prepared to open a new account.
I'd mostly want to do this for the ease of install on a new machine.

Yes, simply click the "Download Demo" button on the right side after looking up the EVE Online: Tyrannis in the Store.
Then log in using your normal login.

Thanks. That was too obvious for me.

Hello, I am wondering if the "Download Demo" is the entire client of just the patch. Any idea? Tks.
Rgrds.
