tbf they did remaster command and conquer and red alert and they did an awesome job as it was a passion project with lots of input from the community. With original developers and composers working on it
But i agree with your point they need to being this stuff back or sell so others can
Westwood was good, I liked the Kyrandia games
Popcap. Sad times
Oh, is EA the reason Popcap vanished? Honestly, if they were still around, they’d probably make some killer mobile games (if they actually sold them as complete games and not the microtransaction hell that most mobile games fall into).
Bullfrog was a lost legend of development. Back when Peter Molyneux wasn’t a pile of lies in a trenchcoat.
I fell for the lies every time. I felt like a teenage girl dating a cheating ex, telling myself he really changed this time, it would be different.
Well maybe we needed a dog control button, Peter!
Maybe I’m still not over it. I’ll see myself out.
After Fable was where I drew the line.
The crazy thing was Fable was actually good! Once you got past Peter’s grandiosity and fabrications, it was a fun, albeit a little shallow, experience.
But Peter had to be out there carrying on about how we could cut down a tree and that same tree would be a stump in the future, or something like that.
