Quoting: Mountain ManI love XCOM 2 because it's a fantastic game. I hate XCOM 2 because it will kick your teeth in without warning. I have never even come close to seeing the end-game. But I still love it.

That's basically me, but I'm now absolutely powering through it with great determination.

Quoting: CSharpbut I think that most developers would recognize that we're the better bunch overall.

I will disagree here. I don't think we're better than any community. Just like all other gaming communities, we have a bunch of trolls, bile spewers and so on. Part of the problem is that we're smaller, all of our communities are smaller and so the hate ends up cutting through and gets seen more than it would in a larger community.

We aren't better than others, that's just not looking outside the circle there.

Still, that's my opinion, as your post is yours and opinions are welcome here :)

Quoting: KimmoKMAnd what's the point of having a "port" in the first place if it works worse than it does on Wine? Now, some commenters without doubt went overboard, but while Virtual Programming ultimately improved the Linux version, the backlash at the time was 100% justified. There's a good chance Linux gaming would be in a worse spot than it is now if we didn't react to outrageously bad ports (beating Wine performance and functionality should be a barrier every single port should cross), even if we did get an official release of TW3 one way or another.

Sorry, but no. The backlash in the form of threats, constant name calling and *insert vile words here* was really not justified, a lot of it personally aimed at people within VP. It was downright terrible and when I saw it, I felt ashamed of the community.

Quoting: dodrianAre you using mods? Which ones?

Oh yes, plenty. None of which change the gameplay, mainly stuff to speed bits up and give me a little more info.

Quick soldier info [External Link]
After Action - Days Wounded [External Link]
Stop Wasting My Time [External Link]
To name a few.

Quoting: pentarctagonSo... what even are people are using? The three ones specifically named are Ubuntu(16.04.2, 17.04) and Mint 18.1 - all 64-bit. Then there's "Linux 64-bit". All of these come out to 0.47 out of 0.72, and in the previous month it was 0.49 out of 0.81. Are there really that many Steam linux users still on 32-bit OSes?

You can get a good idea of what people use here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statistics

Why does this stuff always end up in a DRM and open vs closed source argument :P

Quoting: JahimselfIt's quite weird, I took the survey two days ago and it showed me a 0.81% with a small increase on linux and windows 7 64.

Two days ago would have still been the May numbers.

I've been told the online play is compatible with Windows, Mac & Linux.

Quoting: PhiladelphusMaybe something on how to record your microphone separately from your desktop audio? I haven't really looked into that.
