My Design Classics DLC is doubled in Steam's game properties.

Someone who owns all three DLC's confirmed that each of them are listed twice. So he has something like this:

Cities in Motion - Design Classics DLC
Cities in Motion - Design Classics DLC
Cities in Motion - Design Marvels DLC
Cities in Motion - Design Marvels DLC
Cities in Motion - Tokyo DLC
Cities in Motion - Tokyo DLC​

Is this something to do with SteamPlay (separate Windows and Mac versions)? Anyway, it looks extremely stupid and should be fixed. I thought Valve had already fixed this for new SteamPlay games and the only one still suffering from this is Civilization IV.

If this is related to SteamPlay and cannot be fixed, at least name the Mac entries appropriately, to avoid confusion:

Cities in Motion - Design Classics DLC
Cities in Motion - Design Classics DLC Mac
Cities in Motion - Design Marvels DLC
Cities in Motion - Design Marvels DLC Mac​

etc.

Can't anyone reply? Is that related to the Mac versions? Then why doesn't it happen with other SteamPlay games?

Steam counts all duplicate DLC's as games I own (at steamcommunity.com/id/my_profile), so they inflate my games owned number unnecessarily. And the more DLC's you release (and I continue buying them), the more inflated and inaccurate that number will become.

Again, why doesn't it happen with other SteamPlay games? I think someone has made an error here. It should be fixed.

Colossal Order or Paradox, please respond.

Hmm could you list one other game you own which has DLCs and is both available for PC and Mac?
It seems it is the normal behaviour for Steam games with DLC being available for both platforms to show double in the list, as well as them not being named differently.

giladteller is right, Civilization V has DLC's available for both PC and Mac and none of them are listed twice.

There WAS a similar problem with one DLC for a short period though (it has since been fixed).

After the Civ V Polynesia DLC was released it was listed twice, one for PC, one for Mac. The Mac entry was named "CivilizationV-DLC Polynesia Mac".

The Polynesia DLC entries were:
  • Civ and Scenario Pack - Polynesia
  • CivilizationV-DLC Polynesia Mac

However, it has since been fixed. The Mac Polynesia DLC has disappeared and only the "Civ and Scenario Pack - Polynesia" is shown on my Windows-based Steam now, along with the other 8 DLC's.
