How many hours has XCOM 2 taken from you?

My steam account says 8, but that doesn't count my many hours of offline play. I've only had it for a month, and I haven't yet tried it with mods.

As a lover of tactical strategy, I am most thankful for the XCOM series. If I had the money to get it, BLades of the Shogun would probably be up there as well (the demo was great)

Such a long wishlist, so little money.

Quoting: gojul@edddeduck_feral : do you plan to port to Linux the remaining Total War games, I mean Rome 2, Shogun 2, Napoleon ? It would be really great !

Rome 2 especially would be awesome!

Quoting: mikaelbrunThen I have some questions to the topic.
Will games made with Vulkan need any rewriting, or could it just be copied to Linux i.e?

Since Vulkan is an API like OpenGL and DirectX, games developed from the start using Vulkan would require very little effort to make cross-platform. Not quite simple copy-paste, but only small tweaks instead of major rewrites

Quoting: mikaelbrunWhat if Microsoft started to coorperate with the rest of the world, and not only a part of it? What would the gaming world be like if they started taking part of a project like Vulkan, instead of hold on to the windows-only DirectX?
EDIT: Or is the competition needed to improve the technologies?

It could go either way. Competition inspires innovation, trying to get the edge on yoiur opponent, but cooperation reciprocates innovation, makes things better for everybody. Just take a look at the Linux kernel. Quite a lot of the developers from the individual distros contribute to it, so that they all become better.

Dang. I'll be making a road trip at that time. Otherwise, I would join you.

I have never seen the Steam Survey in my 5 years of using Steam, either on Linux or on Windows.

Humongous Entertainment's games were my first video games. Specifically, Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, and Spy Fox in Dry Cereal, some of the Blue's Clues games and the entire Backyard Sports series. My younger siblings still play Backyard Baseball '01 from time to time.
