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

    I didn’t hear about a C&C remake… Well, shit!

      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.

            Nah, principles > entertainment.

            And as much as I loved C&C and Red Alert as a kid, it’s a bygone age thing. But I am surprised they actually made a remake. Didn’t see that coming.

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

                Yeah, principles. Some people have them.

                  Well, yeah, but those principles don’t typically relate to videogame companies nor to purchase habits regarding 30 year old videogames.

                  Voting with your wallet is ultracapitalist, self-serving non-activism people deploy performatively to make themselves feel better about stuff they don’t care that much about, not “principles”. No offense.
