I’m not well versed in C&C, but it’s always good to see more games open sourced.

    Are you okay? They open sourced some classic video games. They didn’t roofie your drink.

      Go ahead and fall for their PR campaign. You wouldn’t be the first and you won’t be the last.

        Fall for what? They did one of the most pro-consumer moves they possibly could. It’s legally solid and irrevocable. It doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about their next live service game or be happy that they monetize soccer video games with gambling for children.

          Putting in an awful lot of effort defending EA already for someone that doesn’t give a shit

            I don’t have to give a shit “about their next live service game”

            I care quite a lot about game preservation. This isn’t defending EA; it’s praising this particular action. Again, this can’t be taken away from us, so it doesn’t matter what their next shitty behavior is. It doesn’t take away from this being good news.

              Exactly, I really don’t get the all or nothing thinking where you can’t even acknowledge something unambiguously positive because of who is doing it.

            They never said they don’t give a shit, they’re clearly happy that the broken clock was right this time of day. Nobody is praising EA as a company, but this one particular action they have taken is pretty based
