The official post: https://tomorrowcorporation.com/posts/world-of-goo-2-is-out-everywhere

That describes some extra additions to the game, also:

Will I get Steam?!

Yes! If you purchased a copy of World of Goo 2 from us, check your download link! There should be a Steam Key lovingly attached especially for you.

No way, they actually gave me a free Steam key for buying the DRM free version!? And here I was debating with my wallet whether the convenience of Steam was worth buying the game again....

After reading some of the reviews, it would appear that you can’t play it offline on steam, you have to be logged in, which is dumb considering there’s a DRM free version that works without an internet connection

The “convenience” feels like a downgrade.

The complementary steam key is cool though.

Apparently that's a bug according to the dev, so hopefully it gets fixed. Probably a problem with how they implemented the Steam API stuff.
