Yes.
So, funny story to pass the time:

I preordered this game on Steam sometime in December for full price because gently caress it, :effort:

Well, it turns out I had loving forgotten I had already preordered it for 30€ from FunStock Digital at some point, because I just got an email from them with a game key.

How does unlocking work these days? Do I need the space of the game available on the installed drive to hold the interim files while they're decrypting or do you think I'll be good with 15Gb free?

They basically just have you download a key and decrypt from there, it's a pretty small file. You're more than fine.

One key is for the pre-order bonuses, the other key is for the actual game.

For all the people with GMG issues, you will have two keys in the email

1. This one is the preorder and should be done -second-
2. THIS one is the actual game and need to be put in first.

There are a lot of people having issues with it, oddly

My favourite part of the thread so far is Americans being culturally unable to cope with the sheer horrifying concept of not being able to play a videogame before a country that historically has to wait six months extra to pay fifty bucks more.

My favorite part is playing it 10 hours early and paying $50 less than Australia

Goddamnit, I've turned on the VPN and my internet connection works otherwise (albeit slowly), but the Steam client is giving a connection error.
So to anyone who was having this problem with F-Secure Freedome: I just restarted my computer and it works now. Old tricks best tricks! :v:

so restart 'puter -> shut Steam down if you have it launching with Windows -> Turn on VPN -> run Steam.

What would be the best difficulty to start on for a newcomer to the series? (Tried out the original XCom's way back, but didn't really get into it at the time)

If it's anything like last game, I would set it at the lowest initially to get extra starting benefits on the strategic layer, then going up to the next difficulty level soon after.

hunh thanks thats weird mostly because the key for the game is titled in a way to suggest it has the preorder bonus packed in but ok

So is the leader mod worth it? Seems like it adds that extra gameplay strategy but I don't know if the game is balanced around that.
