I was very happy to see this hit GOG. I had been following it for a couple months but figured it would be Steam only at first.

Sadly not available DRM free day one. Good news is the developer got back to me within 24 hours saying they are hoping to have a DRM free copy available at some point in the future.

This is part of the reason I don't buy games at launch. I give them at least 3 months to be patched. Hopefully Xcom 2 is in better shape then.

Loving what I see of the game so far. Supposed to have a DRM free version of the LInux copy available from what I can see which will check all of my boxes. February is shapiong up to be a good month for games. Firewatch and this have me very happy.

Quoting: scaine
Quoting: PublicNuisanceSad news. I've been putting off playing my copy hoping for a Linux version. You win some you lose some.

I'm glad you're up front that you've already bought it.

It really doesn't help that quite a few folk on Steam forums come out with "do a Linux port, then I'll buy it", when there's a pretty obvious icon next to their name that highlights the fact that they've already bought it. It happens in a lot of the "Please give us a Linux version" threads I'm subscribed to.

Some devs might do a Linux version out the kindness of their heart, but most studios will want to see some kind of return on effort. So a thread with 200 pleas to make a Linux version will lose a lot of credibility when 50%+ of those posts have already bought it.

In my defense I didn't have a dedicated Linux system at the time I bought it. I have been buying strictly Linux games for about 6 months now. I don't like to dual boot due to bad experiences in the past so I finally took the plunge and switched my main rig over to Linux about 6 months ago. I still add Windows games to my wishlist so I remember which ones I am hoping for but my money goes to the penguin only.
