“Steam keys are not included in this purchase.”
Pardon my ignorance, but how does this work? And are these games Linux compatible?

The bundle is on itch.io so you download the games from that site. Most of the time you download a zip or an installer for each game.
If you check out the bundle on itch.io you can filter by platform.

They’re DRM free downloads afaik. On Linux you would just run them with Proton by adding them to Steam/Heroic/Faugus etc I assume.

Not a gamedev but a dev nonetheless. Execs decided managers, POs need to develop too now with AI. This will become a real shit show. Who’s reviewing that garbage? AI? We dont even run full feedback loops yet due to security concerns.
On the other hand a dev colleague refused to do a 40h course of new techstack on company time because AI will solve it. Ehh.
Those who survive this storm will have plenty job opportunities to fix all the bullshit.
