Well, I have to agree, oddly, with hayspat. I have purchased quite a few games on my Windows Steam account that will work under Linux. Natively. Generally they have a separate downloadable client, and server if needed. In fact... here's a quick and incomplete list of games you can buy on Steam and will work natively in Linux:

If you'll notice, none of these games say they work on Linux as Valve has no native Linux client, yet. So that's irrelevant as to what it says it'll work under.
Frictional should have made the Linux client accessible to Steam purchasers as well, so this falls in their court. I find it a bit absurd to have to buy it twice. They didn't do this with Penumbra, if I remember correctly. Well, at least with the Humble Bundles.
Either way, I think it was a bad decision on Frictional's part, but I won't hold it against them as they make great Linux versions too. I just won't buy the same game twice. And since I stopped using Windows, I guess I'll never finish Amnesia.
If you're gonna make a game multi-platform, sell a copy for all platforms.
