Metro 2033 Redux and Last Light Original and Redux have Linux native versions on Steam already, just not the original 2033. Granted, the original games are not even purchasable anymore though, only Redux.
What about on GOG?
GOG only distributes the Windows versions sadly.
@sunred @EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted GOG used to be better than most about making Linux versions available, but sadly that was a long time ago. I like their DRM-free ethos and would like to support them, but I'm not going to buy games that don't run on my computer.
I wish Steam had more competition, because competition is good and monoculture is bad. But you really can't beat Steam for Linux gaming; nobody else is even trying. (Maybe itch.io, but they're not really a Steam competitor.)
