CIV is in my Library twice?

When I downloaded the CIV IV complete pack, all four games showed up in the Library double up. Any fix for this?

But other games that are both PC/Mac don't do that. Portal doesn't, for example. It's not a big deal, but I do wonder why they can't clean it up for Civ IV, too.

For whatever reason, the library does show up the CIV games twice - but then, I only use the Mac Library filter on my machine, so I have no issues with it, as it only appears once (obviously).

Unlike Portal, the Civ games are published by different companies, which is why it's split up.

Huh? 2K handles the digital publishing for both the PC and Mac. No other Mac game is split up like this.

I don't think anyone outside of Valve really knows why they're doubled. There was a short time when they were combined, but the games wouldn't work for anyone. They started working again when they used separate entries.

I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but I have no idea what that reason is. At least its only four games. Though the games' news seems to only show up in the Windows entries, which is a minor annoyance (but unimportant really).
