WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
There was a longstanding bug with the 2K launcher that prevented XCOM2 from working at all. I believe it's now fixed, but I suggest checking out the third party launcher for the game.
The way to play the game is to install OpenXCom and then add the necessary files. OpenXCom is an open source clone of the original X-Com engine. It adds modern OS support, high resolution support, quality of life features, bug fixes and modding support.
