Due to the recent update of Steam, libSDL2.so.0 is required in ELF32 format, and this is not available on most linux distributions.
I've been running from Sabayon 11 amd64 (Gentoo-based system, fully updated), and from a fresh steam install.
The following is from stdout:

STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user

This is the package you need: http://packages.sabayon.org/show/libsdl,101249,sabayonlinux.org,amd64,5,standard with the abi_x86_32 use flag

EDIT: Did you pull in the games-util/steam-meta package in order for the dependencies to be pulled as well?

@Tele42 thanks, installing the package seemed to fix it.
I had already installed the package a long time ago, and it never seemed to pull in the above package. I also had to switch to the sabayonlinux.org repository, since it is not included in the sabayon-weekly repositories yet.

Alrighty. Closing this as it's been resolved (and unflagging it as a runtime issue because it apparently wasn't)

Nothing extracted yet.
