I feel dirty upvoting you
never thought I'd see the day....
Proper open source, GPLv3
Say whuuut? 👀
Very rare W for EA.
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.
Or Maxis.
:( don't remind me
They can turn it around except hell would freeze over before that.
If they really wanted to redeem themselves, they should public domain it, allowing anyone to make new Command and Conquer games.
Kane lives!
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
Westwood studios games were my entire childhood
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].
Now do it for Earth and Beyond.
