It's also interesting to note that for Linux the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip is the most popular. Intel actually dominates the top of the GPU list it seems.

That is true not only for Linux. And I like it. There is a chance new games won't be designed only for the top gaming gear. HD4000+ are not that useless for 3D as much older integrated GPUs and graphics is not all what makes a game good.

With 'MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT %command%' it kind of works on Intel HD 4600 too. Though it doesn't look too great and I have no idea what I am supposed to do here, except following the orange targets. :)

Yes, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a great Linux port. I had some doubts if I should buy it, as my hardware is below the official requirements (I have a laptop with Intel i3 CPU and the integrated Intel HD4600 GPU), but I took the risk and the game works great (or well enough for my needs). So the official requirements seem a bit too pessimistic.

Why shouldn't I get another copy for some family multi-player? ;)
