I would not get too excited, EA will just make it skins for their crappy C&C mobile game dota thing they tried to push, for those who who don't pay attention to gaming news EAs reputation is on par with our big banks right now, in that they can not help but make all the money no matter what
Which is a shame because EA used to be a logo for 'worth buying' (before the millennium).

They do "health supplements"


quote:

Mr Cottrell denies the club is a white supremacist organisation, telling Background Briefing it is nothing more than a community group.

He also said he is a regular member of the club and, as such, is not involved in any of the decision making processes.

Mr Jennings is among those who attend the club's fight nights every Friday.

He told Background Briefing his only reason for going there is to "buy health supplements

E Cottrell looks like he'd piss hit enough to boil an egg in. is that a saying? Should be

Wait so we've gone from the religious freedom report almost certainly spelling certain doom for LGBTIQA+ people in religious institutions to the report actually observing that there is, in all likelihood, TOO much religious freedom in this country, to the detriment of LGBTIQA+ people, as well as non-Christian people's and as such we need to introduce better protections?

Also, check out OpenRA which is a remake of C&C1, RA1 and Dune 2000 in a new engine with some upgrades (build queue, build tabs) It isn't 1:1 remake but it is decent. You can import or download the music and cutscenes for what singleplayer missions have been remade so far.
https://www.openra.net/about/

Or cncnet if you want modded versions of the originals to work on modern systems.

You forgot, C&C Renegade which was pretty kickass.

The multiplayer at least. Singleplayer features were cut and the original design for the game was better (a mix of splinter cell and what we ended up with)
