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.
-
Mmmmm pre-standard C++
-
It’s a kick ass game but some of the tropes didn’t age well.
-
I wish.
I have dry balls.
-
I'm sorry but comparing this to domestic abuse is just insane
-
It's literally the exact same tactic
-
Putting in an awful lot of effort defending EA already for someone that doesn't give a shit
-
Loved Renegade so much. Played the shit out of the MP back in the day.
-
EA ? Did I read right ?
-
They roofied my drink.
-
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.
EA open sources old games: EA are scum and anti-consumer.
If it’s good it must be bad, right?
-
That's correct
-
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.

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.
