Quoting: DrMcCoySeriously, you are not helping GNU/Linux adoption here. Quite the contrary.

You like it or not, that's my point of view and I'm only honest in what I'm writing about.

Quoting: AstroIt's how you treated customers I didn't like.

Oh, do shut up. "Fremdschämen" is not something I like to experience.

And that's one of examples of disrespect I've been talking about.

Quoting: edddeduckferalI know you are of the opinion all software should be 32bit supported and our decision to openly support only 64 bit only with XCOM has upset you greatly. We have always tried to help you, we offered advice on how to request a refund when you missed the Ubuntu 64bit requirement on the Steam store page and we also have offered to answer any questions you might have on 32bit/64bit if you send us an email with them all in to help you understand why we developed a 64 bit version.

I don't want to turn this comments page into a debate on 32/64 bit OS, the last time I saw this happen on the Steam forums it got out of hand with people taking sides and nothing constructive is gained from it.

It's how you treated customers I didn't like. Personaly, I'm not sure if I want to play XCOM even if it will be ported on 32-bit OS. If there was explanation back then instead of almost complete disregard and agreement among the other who said that 32-bit OS users are just a bunch of loosers and it's cool don't pay attention to them, I'd have said nothing.

Quoting: edddeduckferalTo put this into perspective one of our Linux testers has over 750+ hours of gameplay on XCOM Linux. To make sure a game is tested and is up to the quality that is deserves that takes quite a lot of time and effort. I am not saying 32 bit would need the same testing again but it wouldn't be minor given all the hardware configurations and features that need testing :)

You do your job from begining to the end or don't do it at all. Half-working port isn't what people waiting for.

Quoting: edddeduckferalIt's not impossible but supporting 64 bit and 32 bit however it is a lot more work if you want to give full and official support to the 32bit platform. Given the comments and feedback so far only a very small number of users have 32 bit based OS's and are unwilling to update to 64bit to play.

I personaly saw a lot of surveys that says there're only 0.1% of linux users in the whole world. But you've ported XCOM anyway. And now you're talking about "a small number of users" because of surveys said so. No, that's not true. That's just what you want to believe in and beeing in that unpleasant and awkward situation you're tring to look like a reasonable man.

Quoting: SpeedsterThis is an interesting interview, please ignore the haters lurking at reddit!

That exactly what they do - ignore everyone who doesn't cheer them. They say something like "They're loosers and we don't want to talk with these loosers who bought our game." It's my first time when I ran into that kind of disrespect to their customers.

Quoting: Astrothere wasn't any words that says XCOM dosn't run on 32bit OS

To be fair, the game's Steam store page does state Linux 64 bits as minimum requirements, but I agree that was easy to miss out on.

No, there wasn't! They added this warning later!

Quoting: nllaRegarding devs payment, Steam should have something like the Humble Bundle's system where you tell them for what platform you bought the game.

After that incident when I've been deceived by Feral and bought their game as many other people because there wasn't any words that says XCOM dosn't run on 32bit OS, I'm gonna be more careful with purchases from now on. And I think that many people will go that way.

gbudny, it more lools like their inability to build 32bit binary properly. Or maybe it was some kind of fanatic opinion. Because there must be a choice. Everyone who thinks about other people gives them that choice. Otherwise it calls an enforcement and a disrespect.

Not only a Freespace this game reminds but Homeworld as well. I'm personaly a huge fan both of them. So I'm definitely gonna take a look at this game and hope be useful tester.

Something tells me they just couldn't build 32bit binary and that's the end of the story. It's pitty I bought this port and supported devs. This port shouldn't cost money. And they're worst of devs I know about.
