Linux version spotted in Steamdb

Although it was anticipated (or wishful thinking? ) because CivBE will be released for Linux and there was a promotional SteamOS picture with Civ5, there now is more conclusive proof that Civ5 may actually be coming to Linux: Linux-versions have been added to the Steamdb.

Now, not everything that is added to the Steamdb is an actual thing, but often it is.

To be clear: This isn't 100% proof Civ5 will be coming to Linux, just a strong indication.
