Why does Desura think it’s already installed on the Mac

desuramacos

When I go to Desura's site and click Download Desura, I get two options:

Desura is installed
Let's play!

Install Desura
For Windows

I've never been to the Desura site before. This machine is about 2 months old. I'm pretty certain Desura is not installed.

Clicking on "Let's play" does nothing. It's a link to desura://refresh/. I've tried running open desura://refresh/ in the shell, and it appears that nothing on my machine recognizes the desura: URL scheme.

What makes Desura think that I have it installed already? How can I get the download URL?

Desura doesn't think you've installed it, it is offering you options how to proceed if it is installed or not - if you have the client installed you click the first button, if you don't you click the other button. There is no Desura client for OS X, but they do offer standalone OS X distributions through the site.
