RE: Where is Linux client?

Sigh, did you read the whole thing or not? I said "Generally they have a separate downloadable client, and server if needed."

Steam does not put anything about them working on Linux as STEAM DOES NOT RUN ON LINUX. Though all of those games do.

They usually ALLOW BUYERS TO DOWNLOAD THE LINUX CLIENTS from their sites with verification, sometimes none at all.

I'm saying that Frictional should have let us use the same serial key to get the Linux clients instead of double-charging.

This isn't Steam or Valve's business nor fault, it lies solely with the developer.

Point in case, say I bought Doom 3 or Quake Wars (which I did) through Steam. I can still get the Linux clients and play the game I purchased on a different OS. Have you used Steam? While it does "install" the game into itself, there is a folder where the normal game resides and will run without Steam at all. Unless it is exclusive or a Valve game. I run lots of games bought through Steam without Steam.

I'd do more homework before talking non-sense, old son.
Oh, and my only mention of the Humble Bundle was that Frictional sold Penumbra on all three systems for one price. If I bought Penumbra on Steam and had to re-buy it to play on Linux I never would have bought Amnesia period... but I never checked. And in this case, I will probably not purchase from Frictional in the future.
