Quoting: PhlebiacIt's only the base game, not the definitive edition bundle.
After activating key on Steam it says that's Definitive Edition.
They label the base game that way now, but it's not the bundle. You still have to upgrade to get the rest.

Quoting: pskosinskiMaybe worth mentioning: even that Humble says Blasphemous is available only for Windows, one can install it with one click on Steam client, so probably it's on Steam's whitelist of games which can be run through Proton without issues. I was surprised.
It doesn't list Proton in the Steam client, so it must be the native version they have been testing.

Quoting: bacattasteam keys ?
Yes, they still are (mostly) Steam keys. Sometimes there is also a DRM-free download also, and if the game isn't on Steam at all it's usually a DRM-free download (with occasional exceptions that are well noted, like Overwatch).

Quoting: bacattaShadow of the Tomb Raider as a Linux version or is it only the "definitive edition" ?
It's only the base game, not the definitive edition bundle.

Quoting: PangaeaI'd definitely welcome a DRM Free competitor that cares about Linux. I loved GOG back in the days, but they have changed a lot since then, so there is less reason to be faithful. Probably the only reason they began with Linux at all was that Steam did it, and they've been dragging their feet about it ever since.
They dragged their feet from the start:

Hopefully they will submit patches upstream (and they will get accepted!), so anyone else using this can also benefit.

This is published by Paradox now right? Doesn't that mean it will have new DLC regularly for the next 5 years? :P

That seems rather... disappointing?

inXile's big party-based RPG 'Wasteland 3' launching May 19 next year, now up for pre-order

Quoting: wytrabbitTo all the people last year who immediately assumed inXile being acquired by Microsoft meant the end of their Linux ports, you should try to keep an open mind next time.
The game was crowd-funded with the promise of a Linux version, so I would say they had a prior obligation for this game. It's future games where the likelihood significantly decreases.
