Well, there it is. It's now official after earlier reports that EA (Electronic Arts) is being sold off to an investor consortium.

      I mean, they published Split Fiction and Tales of Kenzera this year and their Star Wars games were more than decent (let’s hear it for the atrociously underrated X-Wing revival they made with Squadrons). They also published the C&C Remaster that same year, which I feel doesn’t get enough credit despite getting a lot of credit. Probably one of the best examples of one of those in recent memory.

      Let’s not be disingenuous, none of that is their bread and butter, but it’s not like they were entirely dormant.

          It’s pretty good. Comes with both C&C and Red Alert, plus a bunch of extras. Definitely worth it.

              It’s been EA since a different millenium. I think it’s time to get over it.

              FWIW, the remake itself was made by an external studio including members of the original team and they apparently collaborated closely with some sort of consulting group of modders and preservation-focused community people.

                  “Principles”? Man, is that self-indulgent.
