I noticed that Dungeon Defenders appeared in the Linux list, so I told Steam to download it.

Imagine my surprise when it finished downloading before I even had jumped to another desktop -- turns out that Steam actually only created the directory for Dungeon Defenders.

Someone else reported the same thing here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/864961537287636831/?tscn=1362476556

I think it means that Dungeon Defenders is in closed beta now.

Yep, there is "linuxbeta" entry in properties -> betas.

It's in closed beta. If you had beta access to the game, it would download the files. This is also a duplicate of many bugs, most historically #28.

Same bug here :(

It's not a bug; if you have beta access to the game's linux client, you can play.

Or if you have the binary from the Humble Bundle. (Not sure on how well it works, I only confirmed that Steam could launch it, I also noticed that it didn't have my character(s) (I'm assuming they're locally stored on another computer?)) Then I had trouble convincing it to rebind keys.

Would it not be possible for steam to inform you of this when you download it?

That's been presented as a feature request. Currently, Steam's not capable of notifying you when you can download it.
