What Misanthe said and also they also might be doing it as a loss leader, to attract your attention to the fact Enemy Within has been launched as well. looking at this site http://www.vgchartz.com/game/70978/xcom-enemy-unknown/ [External Link] they sold just over half a million copies worldwide. That should cover the dev costs, everything else from there on is a tiny profit on late sales. Enemy Within is likely to only interest those who played Unknown, therefore widen the playerbase of the first game to boost the sales of the second.

Quoting: BaggypantsThe irony of GOG having a givaway promoting a linux compatible client but not having AvP for linux when the source code is available on Github.

I'm not familiar with that game. Was the engine open sourced?

Sooo, I use Fedora and bought Torchlight direct from Runic to support the dev's but it didn't play with wine and I then got a copy from GOG, and your now telling me the linux version from Ubuntu is going to be available on Steam.... I appear to be totally incapable of backing the right horse.

(Please don't take this as a negative comment for doing linux ports it isn't meant to be, and I applaud any effort to port games to Linux.)
