I am unsure if this is how Humble operate though.
Edit: Seems Feral made it even more clear [External Link] about buying outside of Steam when there isn't a Linux icon:

Quoting: FireDartI also bought Alien: Isolation on humble with the Windows icon since it was $12 instead of $24 on Steam but redeemed the key on steam while on a Linux client. I wonder if they still count it as Linux?According to Feral & Bundle Stars if games don't have a Linux icon they don't count for Linux, as keys can be per-platform, it's different to buying directly from Steam.

Edit: Seems Feral made it even more clear [External Link] about buying outside of Steam when there isn't a Linux icon:
Quoting: Edwin, Feral DeveloperThink of it like buying a physical boxed copy, if you buy a Windows boxed game from Amazon with a steam key you'd expect the game sale to be registered as a Windows sale even if you activated it on Linux. Buying from digital stores is the same, if you buy a Windows steam key from a store that reports as a Windows sale.
If you buy a Linux boxed copy (or digital key) from a store it counts as a Linux sale (even if you activate it on Windows).
Buying direct from Steam is different as no key is generated and you are buying directly with Valve this means they can track both the payment and the usage and assign the copy to the correct platform.
All this said you can buy keys from anywhere and they'll work just fine, it's the sale platform and revenue that is effected the customers experience is identical no matter the purchase method.
Hope that explains things.

Quoting: STiATNot to mention Shroud is in a constant state of flux right now (with regular wipes), Albion Online is much further along in development.Quoting: PangachatJust watched some videos, something is wrong with this game for me, but don't know what is it O_oI won't stick with SotA ... the scenes / permanent zoning and long loading times without SSD is just annoying me out of mind.
I think i stick to Shroud of the Avatar yet, and maybe if this one releasing, i give it a chance.

Anyone who owns it who has been in previous tests has said it's been really fun, and I'm willing to give it ago. I will be writing up my thoughts, and probably livestreaming during the beta.
I have high hopes, the combat looks like fun too.

I've sent the developers messages on twitter to show them how to fix the download, I would comment on their Steam forum but it seems locked down to owners only.
