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.
I dunno. Whoever is in charge of Westwood IP these days isn't completely fucking it up. The remaster team was in contact with the community through development and by and large listened to the feedback. The remaster was good as a result. Releasing the source means the possibility of a modern enhancements ala OpenRA.
Of course none of this redeems them for RA3 or C&C 4
RA3 brought us Soviet Russian Tim Curry. Nothing has to be redeemed, fight me.
I still want a remaster of the Generals series
If they really wanted to redeem themselves, they should public domain it, allowing anyone to make new Command and Conquer games.
