Relevant.

Is it strange if I left it on repeat while making a sandwich and burst into dance?

Some of the new missions are absolutely brutal, especially if you go in blind.
I won't go into details due to spoilers, but the one in the fishing village I barely managed to win with one guy just making it out, everyone else got -redacted-.

It's a Steam code, so I imagine you pay on GMG then put the code on Steam.

So, for the people considering purchasing this.  What you're going to get is still the same rough game as before.  Its just been improved in every aspect (with the possible exception of new glitches, although I only found one).  There are new maps, and rotated old maps, which together seem less BS than the old map setup could be.  There's two new aliens, a new enemy faction with abilities that resemble yours, and interesting new mission types involving said enemies.  The game mechanics have been altered with an eye for expanding options in building your squad, extending the difficulty of the game past the first 2 months, and increasing the pace of gameplay.  A lot of common, small fan complaints seem to have been addressed.  Example: soldiers can now speak several major European languages.

Personally I love it.  If you haven't gotten as much value out of the base game as me, or if you're more critical of it, the expansion might not be worth 30$.  So far its felt worth it to me, about 4 months into the campaign.  Also, I think they solved the teleportation glitch, and I think the fix applies to the base game.  So have fun with that.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

I don't follow your logic. I have never dealt with GMG, but I have dealt with third party websites that sell Steam codes.

Pity it's only European languages. I was rather dissapointed when I discovered that there weren't any Asian languages available at all.

Also, it's kind of amusing that Polish is a language option despite there not being any Polish soldiers. I've been giving that language set to my Scandinavian soldiers, since they don't have a proper language set for themselves.

Are you running with a mod? Because they're not in the default list of nations.

I think you are mistaken, because I have used no mods and have had Polish soldiers. I even had to look up what their flag was because it slipped my mind.
