Mouse issues in a game built on Unity? YouGottaBeKiddingMe... Are there any 3D games built on Unity *without* mouse issues?

I'm playing Xcom: Enemy Unknown these days and would like to use this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to Feral Interactive for such a silky smooth port of a fantastic game.

Seriously guys: This game is a must-buy for all Linux gamers.

It's there on the top bar of your comment, behind a link titled, aptly, "Edit". :)

Edit: Right before the "Report Spam" link.

Quoting: SpeedsterI had over a day just last week where internet was down at my house; being forced offline really is a thing that happens to people that aren't big powerful cyborgs like Beamboom ;)

Oooh I like the sound of that - I'll let that illusion reside. :)

Of course there's moments where I too am cut off from the internet at home (although, living in the center of the capital of Norway I must say it happens very rarely. I can only guess it's more common other places) but I don't think that's ever stopped me from starting a game. I just have never experienced the problems described.

But again, thanks for the replies, now I at least understand the anti comments better.

Thanks for the reply, guys.

Ok, first thing first: The requirement of having the game CD in the CD tray is annoying, as I too stated. That's why I prefer the online requirements instead.

The rest of your arguments reside around the problem with not being online/connected.

It should here be mentioned that I am a close to 100% Steam gamer. I got some freebie games that are hosted on Uplay (like Assassins Creed that I got with a graphics card) but I don't think I've paid for anything outside Steam.

So in effect I guess what I'm really arguing for here, is that Steam really is not such a bad service. And I've read many, many users claiming "Steam == DRM, never on my computer!" I just go, "why???".

Sure, it probably is at least a theoretical hassle to not be able to play on your laptop while being offline. But in real life, how often do that happen?
I just think people are far, far too harsh on this whole issue. Like I said, I've been a gamer for decades now and have not really in practise been annoyed by anything but the old "CD in tray" requirement.

Can someone in a calm and rational tone explain to me why DRM is such a bad thing, seemingly by default? I see this hate all over the place - but what is it founded on? Isn't it *piracy* that is the real plague here?

Ever since I started earning my own money I've been paying for my games and never needed to work against the DRM applied to the games. And quite frankly, with Steam & co it's much, MUCH more comfortable today than it was back in the days when we had to insert the friggin' CD (or floppy or whatever physical media it was distributed on) into the machine to verify ownership in order to play the games.

My PC has ever since the late 90s been online for as long as it's turned on and so are yours, so that argument just doesn't hold water and hasn't done so for decades now.

So, why should I feel rage for Unbisoft trying to make life harder for those who steal their games? Why should I even care, as long as it doesn't add hassle for me (and no - they don't!)?

I for one welcome Ubisoft with open arms, cause they are behind quite a few of my favourite franchises.

Ok, 20€ for a modern AAA with a meta of nearly 90 running natively on Linux? It's an instabuy, guys!

Quoting: drmothBy the way, this looks like it has nothing in common with Space Hulk (which is an excellent game btw, get it if you don't have it)

Not to be a d*ck, but that game has a metascore all the way down in the 50s. It can't possibly be excellent.

I don't know man... I kinda left the Amiga behind in the early nineties, and if I want to revisit that era again I'd rather fire up my old trusty A500.

In other words: I don't get all these kind of releases nowadays. I really don't. These things belong to the mobile phone market.

Quoting: rustybroomhandle2. How is Microsoft allowing this, seeing as it runs their OS and will be eating away chunks of their XBox profits? They get money for the OS license, that's it.

I don't see how an allowance is required from Microsoft, this is a regular PC with regular licensing.
If they *like* it is another matter. But any PC can theoretically be a Xbox competitor.

Plus, MS' Xbox division and Windows division are two different entities.
