Grats, you figured out it's a small spinoff game (and have some sort of political dislike with the concept)
But that's what it is. A forced political agenda into a game that doesn't need it.
You know what I love most about XCOM: Chimera Squad?

All the vitriol about 'forced diversity' that's been spewed all over the Steam discussion forums is mirrored almost exactly in-game... by murdering terrorists trying to justify their actions.

Well, that and it's a lot of fun, but it's XCOM, so of course it's great fun.

XCOM 3 won't be better at this point. Just replay old ones and forget about new ones.

well I believe in that if a company can turn bad it can also turn good , hope the xcom3 wont have these issues ,but little chance for it
Here is a Steam review copied and pasted for your perusal. If it is true, I 100% for sure won't be buying this.

"Cant launch without an active internet connection.
Its singleplayer only, and doesnt have any online features, so it purely connects to their servers for data collection.

It also does not ask/tell you that it does. Pretty sure that illegal but dont take my word for that.

And if you try to stop it, it locks you out of the game and becomes unplayable.

THIS IS NOT OKAY - DO NOT BUY"

Apparently it's 'just' a crappy launcher which is, for some reason, web-based. It's causing other problems too, so hopefully it'll be changed soon.

Oddly, I tried running the game directly out of curiosity, and it added a bunch of debug options to the main menu.

Ah, Civilization VI all over again.
Never even played Xcom 2, so happy to wait for a GOG version that's patched up.

This game is an absolute trash. Watch the reviews, see for yourself!!

Play "Phantom Doctrine" instead, fantastic game.

All the best!

Bought that only need to play it now :P

A law should force these single-player games to offer offline play.

Well, apparently this is a thing. Didn't see this coming at all. Hopefully it shows up here sooner rather than later (same day release would be awesome).

Can never have enough XCOM!
It's a thIiiIiiIiiIiiIiiIiiIiiIiing like chicken, Chicken is a thing too! there are many things that can make more things because everything is a thing.

Completely agree there with you!

Phantom Doctrine is not an easy game. So start on easy, and learn the game. There's so much to it as well, lots of things to learn and to do. The story is quite amazing for a game like this. And the "Investigation Board", a mini-game, is a blast.

Just talking about makes me wanna go back playing... :D
Well, at least they got rid of the annoying time limits from XCom 2 so that's something. But I think I will wait for a GOG release as well.

There would never be any reason to buy Chimera Squad instead of Xcom 2. Chimera Squad is a vastly gutted version of Xcom 2 and one which is missing almost all of Xcom 2's good features, and one that is much worse than Xcom 2 in every possible way.

I meant "by the time I finish Xcom 2 this will be on GOG."
