Quoting: CheesenessAstro seems completely out of line in this thread, but I'm not sure that that justifies some of the more generalised responses.
And I'm still thinking I'm 100% right in my point of view as 32-bit OS user.
No you are not. you can not demand something which was not promised buy developers. You can ask them to support but they are not obliged to do that.
As I said earlier, if you do something - do it from begining to the end properly. XCOM half-ported and it's obvious fact. And I don't demand anything. I only declare this fact. But that's not a subject of our discussion here. Mostly I really upset because I'm aware for now on how much unfriendly linux community is. :(
Not supporting 32bit architecture do not make it half-ported. No one can force developer to support architecture which they do not want if they haven not promised that. They made excellent 64 bit port and that is our reason to disagree with you. They are not worst devs ever because they do not support your 32 bit linux. I think they would support it it there where reasonable demand. But as there are only fiew people demanding it I do not see reason why they should waste their time on it. It is much better for them to start port next game to Linux not to waste time on 32 bit port.

Quoting: PKMplOf course we want the support of one the biggest publishers and developers, why would anyone even hesitate?
Windows gamers don't seem to like getting shafted, hence the huge controversy surrounding Ubisoft at the moment (the company loves to shoot itself in the foot) so why should Linux gamers?
Because of games. Because I like anno and I like heroes and I like settlers. And I can not do nothing about that :(. And I agree that uplay is pain. That settlers VII always online policy was same pain and discomfort as Diablo III. But still It would be better that they are here and make Linux games ad we complain about they DRM policy than they are not making games for Linux and we do not complain about that.

Quoting: liamdaweI picked up Ghost Recon Future Soldier on PS3 second hand recently for a bit of fun with my friend online, but nope that's another £7 to play online because of their online pass system.

£7 to play online on a two year old game.

I never agree that second hand buyers need to pay again to play online, why should they? Ubisoft got their money on the first purchase.

They are not a nice company to deal with.
You got burn and I understand your distrust. I bought from them heroes, settlers and anno series and had a lot of fun playing them. So yes I would like to have these games in future fore Linux.
