EA just released source code for a bunch of old Command and Conquer games, and added Steam Workshop support to bangers like C&C 3: Tiberium Wars

God I wish EA had never bought Westwood. They used to make bangers. That was the start of enshittification. We knew it was shitty back then and it never really stopped being shit. 30 years later EA pretends to be good by releasing source. Kind of meaningless.

RA3 brought us Soviet Russian Tim Curry. Nothing has to be redeemed, fight me.

If they really wanted to redeem themselves, they should public domain it, allowing anyone to make new Command and Conquer games.

Open source renegade!

No need, EA licensed it out to the RenegadeX team a few years ago, and since it's UE3 it works great on modern hardware.
They've been working on an adaptation of Renegade to Tiberian Sun and it looks sick as hell

Its was the first EA purchase I have made in more than 9 years. It felt weird doing it. I wonder if this will change OpenRA

Well, shit. Good for them! This is a long way from [insert reference to That Reddit Thread here].
