Ok, this might finally tip the balance enough for me to start thinking of completely uninstalling Windows on my desktop.

from the stats is one of the most played.
now we need football manager 14 to come out, and for Rome total war, we got 0.A.D. as substitute for now
Then Only game in the top 10 we'll miss is Elder scrolls V...
But we kinda got Elder scrolls III Open morrowind, so maybe who knows what might happen in the future.

Another great thing about OpenMW is that since Morrowind and Oblivion both used Gamebryo it shouldn't take nearly as much effort to extend it to include Oblivion support once they are done with Morrowind. The same can't be said for Skyrim though unfortunately, but there is enough similarities between the games to even be a good starting point for that as well. Would be nice to see it one day change from OpenMW to OpenES.

In example civ5 is like 1/5 of Civ:CTP2. I would expect new games to be more complex.. When comes to UFO:EU it has very boring and simplified battles.

XCOM:EU would be very interesting to see on Linux. It's Unreal Engine 3, so porting is definitely doable, and with Enemy Within they might have had an idea to make a re-release that also includes Linux support.
But that's wishful thinking, and I wouldn't buy it either way due to it being Steam-exclusive. Instead, I'm having a very good time playing UFO: Alien Invasion (version 2.5 is currently a release candidate).
