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

        That would be a completely legendary move if the dev hired by EA just said “fuck it, I’m open-sourcing this shit!”

          It sounds like that’s what happened, but through the proper channels. They hired a known CnC community/modding site admin as the dev.

          I’d imagine he pitched that this was an easy way to reduce maintenance costs while fostering massive good will and making the amount of long tail sales over time higher.
