"Steam keys are not included in this purchase."

Pardon my ignorance, but how does this work? And are these games Linux compatible?

edit: thanks for the replies. I'm glad they're creating this fund.

    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.

    I fairly frequently try out games made for Windows, released on Itch, me running Linux.

    Yeah, some are not well optimized... but these are basically alpha builds of (usually solo dev) indie games, so, yeah basically, works pretty much as well it can.

    Can't say I've ever had a technical issue with anything that has hit 1.0.

    Proton is magic, hooray!
