Well there shouldn't be no issue. I downloaded Xcom 2 last night and it was the Linux version.
Okay I'll give it a shot
That worked but now the issue is that When I launch the game it looks like it launches but no picture just my desktop screen and I will hear sound so I have to stop the game and relaunch again and then it shows a picture. This happens like every time I have to launch then cancel it and launch in again for it to work.
Edit: probably some sort of compositor issue. I remember I saw it with their port of Company of Heroes 2, turns out it really didn't like the MATE marco compositor. Took me ages to figure out.

So, if you already own it, your still allowed to download the Linux version. That very nice of them. I would hope it's the same if you decide to purchase it?
I've had both in my wishlists for ages. I'm thinking I missed the boat a bit.

Sometimes a license is issued for a set period of time. A good example of this is codemasters, once their license expires for the vehicles they remove the games from sale, but the game still exists on steam as it was before - only the store page cannot be accessed. Thus only customers who purchased prior to that can play the game.
Either that, or it's some kind of a reshuffle? Either way, the Linux builds appear to still be up.
Hopefully we can get some kind of official statement to find out what's going on.
If you buy the game, I don't think there's any reason you couldn't download the Linux version. The only difference is that Feral is probably not going to receive any of your cash as they're not listed as a publisher on the store page. Unless this is just a temporary mistake.
Lego Batman and Lego Harry Potter have also gone from Feral's website, but Lego DC Super Villains hasn't, for whatever reason.
