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

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

People are people; I feel we’ve generally got quite a good vibe going on so don’t let the grumps bring you down!

I’m sorry but comparing this to domestic abuse is just insane

Go ahead and fall for their PR campaign. You wouldn’t be the first and you won’t be the last.

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.

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

If it’s good it must be bad, right?

This is an opportunity where if you’d used your brain you’d have come to a different conclusion.

EA sucks balls, but this is one objectively good move from them. It’s worth noting, especially from a games preservation perspective.

You can hate the company while accepting this. EA doesn’t have exclusive control over that game anymore.

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