This seems to be a problem occurring a lot, a DLC will list as available for SteamOS, when the game itself is not.

Here's some recent examples (also sent to Pierre-Loup Griffais on Twitter):

http://store.steampowered.com/app/763530/Nocturnal_Hunt__Soundtrack/

Then this DLC:

That one did originally have SteamOS support, but they removed it, but the DLC still lists it.

You probably hear "simple" suggestions all the time, but is it not possible to have a DLC not support more than the base game in terms of platforms?

To be fair, these are soundtracks and the audio files are not OS-specific.

While true, it still seems odd.

Especially with the Steam store text "This content requires the base game X on Steam in order to play.".

Nothing extracted yet.
