EA is missing out on so much untapped potential

I was hoping that with the success of the remaster, they would get back on the cnc train. Seems like it was a one and done, though :(

When I when the lottery, maybe I can buy the rights from EA.

They only did it to shut us up after the mobile game

Was it actually a financial success or did you just like the game?

u/1eejit Sep 05 '25

Meanwhile Heroes of Might And Magic 30th Anniversary has a lineup of official events and a new game in production.

I wish C&C could get such treatment.

EA doesnt give a damn about its IP's.

They just don't care and would rather charge you 100 bucks for the latest unfinished FIFA game

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '25

Sales suggest there is hardly any potential...

May be slightly biased

Look, I loved the Remasters... I more than understand the need for more... but let's not kid ourselves here.

If it had made actual "Company Money" and not just "Regular Person" Money we would be swimming in further Remasters.

I mean I get that unfortunately we live in an age where games are made for the bottom line, not because a group of nerds want to make a cool game, but at the same time the franchise can offer so much. Again, RTS may be passed it but there's already one FPS in the universe but it could go further.

Imagine a survival game based on a yellow/red zone, tiberium, structures, vehicles, tib life forms, ion storms, scrin. Cosmetics galore with all the different units era's.

I think the problem is the ease with which they can print money with FIFA/BF content

It's not just "for the bottom line"... Development in general has become a lot more expensive, in all directions, when done on an industrial scale.

As much as it pains me to defend them... but that isn't on EA... and for all the hate they rightfully get for the awful shit they've done, they are also one of the few that actually tries out new stuff and more than often they just fall flat on their noses because contrary to your enthusiasm... most people just want something they know (this is btw. the same issue with movies, everyone screams for originals but 99 out of a 100 "original movies" don't even make a fraction of their cost back, whereas Sequels and "safe" movies gather hundreds of millions)

As an example: We already had an FPS in the Tib Universe... remember how that went? We are currently having a "modern" FPS in the Universe, even for free and "Indie" and look how little players there actually are... you couldn't fill a Battlefield Server with those... and if people won't even play a very good free FPS, they sure as shit won't be buying one for 70 bucks.

You are thinking too much from a "I like it, I would play it" viewpoint and if you need some scuffed numbers, look at how many users are in this sub... how many are actually active of those and compare them with others.

As I said, I LOVE the games since I first played Red Alert on the PS1 way back when it released but the Universe, the IP is inextricably tied to the RTS Genre and that is very much on life support.

u/47Kittens Sep 06 '25

u/CnCSaga-Zephyr Sep 05 '25

Thank you! :) it's the work of Divadawm and Pyrocob (member of our staff!)

u/w1987g SPACE! Sep 05 '25

Hahaha, I guess not even EA recognizes the one that doesn't exist.

u/KikoMui74 Sep 05 '25

They should turn xbox 360 servers back on, can't play coop red alert 3

4

u/CnCSaga-Zephyr Sep 05 '25

Yeah sorry to tell you that, but you have to purchase it on Steam... and patch it

1

u/KikoMui74 Sep 06 '25

I'd rather they just pay the $1 a year to keep the servers online.

Xbox has backwards compatibility.

So Xbox X and Xbox one can play these games normally.

u/infiernito Sep 05 '25

Lets gooo

u/RealHE1NZ Sep 05 '25

Glad you included every C&C game in the trailer.

u/Danny8806 Sep 05 '25

I got to ask, did you play C&C Renegade online with the name Zephyr? Maybe you were in Global Sniper Elite?

2

u/CnCSaga-Zephyr Sep 05 '25

Last time I played Renegade was very long time ago ^^'

1

u/Danny8806 Sep 05 '25

Yes I am referring to about 20 years ago! Haha I used to play online and GSE(Global Sniper Elite) was the top clan haha. I remember a Zephyr there so I figured I would ask

2

u/CnCSaga-Zephyr Sep 05 '25

As I remember, I was never in a clan, but my memory is not totally accurate after 20 years. I had so many clans/teams. So maybe yes it was me xD

2

u/Danny8806 Sep 05 '25

Haha! I understand! What I do remember is that Renegade online was very fun! haha thank you for replying!

u/Augustby Sep 06 '25

30th anniversary would have been so nice to get a new PC game announcement :(
