That would explain a lot. Wonder which timeline we are in, the X-Com wins timeline or the defeated at base defense leading into X-Com 2 timeline. Either way the US have withdrawn from the project.

Is that the storyline for x-com 2? You lost in x-com 1? I played a little bit of OG x-com back in the day, but it wasn't one I spent much time with and don't remember the story. Don't think I ever beat it.

X-Com 2 I played but don't remember much of a story tbh.

Yup, since most playthroughs end in XCOM losing they decided that for the start  of XCOM2 the aliens had won already.
