EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3

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

RENEGADE!!!!!!!
Loved Renegade so much. Played the shit out of the MP back in the day.

I'm not well versed in C&C, but it's always good to see more games open sourced.
EA ? Did I read right ?

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

Abusers will often buy gifts to placate the victim. It's a cheap and empty move that changes nothing in the end. Do not be fooled.
I am under the impression that lemmy is more negative than reddit

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

EA doesn’t open source old games: EA are scum and anti-consumer.

If it’s good it must be bad, right?

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.

It’s a kick ass game but some of the tropes didn’t age well.
Ak47s for everyone!

In this economy? Man I'll take 2!

Old games being open sourced is a trend I can get behind.

Fuck EA but cool move - if they keep being not shit for long enough I might consider their products again.
Doubt they can keep it up.

No matter what you think of EA, this is fantastic news.
Perhaps why this feels like them trying to save face.

That game seemed so underappreciated. I would be thrilled if I could have another LAN party with it.

They're still requiring EA Play or $6 for the bundle on steam.

Just in general. EA has a lot to around for.

Correct. Doom and Quake still cost money as well.
