The game was under exclusivity contract for Epic Games, but they were still allowed to sell copies of the game on their own website. Now that the contract is up, the game can be sold on Steam. Granting players who bought the game from the website free Steam keys is a nice touch.

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.
