Having the same problem. I always liked that I could simply download a standalone (linux) version of the game. I've been following the game from the first alpha's up until the last introversion build, and would really like to play the latest update but feel like I shouldn't been forced to deal with steam just for a single game. I was hoping that paradox would continue in the same spirit that made Introversion so great.
 
if you bought it from Introversion follow this:

When you originally bought the game from Introversion you were emailed a link to the builds. This link is re-sent to you every time we do an update so before you mail in, please check your in-box and spam filter for mails that have come from: Introversion Software <noreply@digitaldeliveryapp.com>.

Your link will take the form:

https://www.digitaldeliveryapp.com/orders/206629/download/<longstringofnumbers>

If you have lost the link you can have it resent here:

http://transactions.digitaldeliveryapp.com/order_recoveries/new?merchant_id=1228

By following that link you will find your steam retail activation key which will look like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Copy it into the clipboard then from within Steam click “+ Add Game” -> “Activate a Product on Steam” and paste your key. Follow the instructions and Prison Architect will be added to your game collection and you’ll get automatic updates.

If you need your email resent then contact us at support@introversion.co.uk and make sure you include the email address that you used to buy the game (this may be your paypal email address).

The entire point being that I simply can not install steam. My current internet connection is behind a proxy and steam will simply refuse to work behind a proxy. So if the only method that the game is now distributed is using steam then I'm plain simply screwed and have no way to get the updates.
