EA just released source code for a bunch of old Command and Conquer games, and added Steam Workshop support to bangers like C&C 3: Tiberium Wars (www.pcgamer.com)

God I wish EA had never bought Westwood. They used to make bangers. That was the start of enshittification. We knew it was shitty back then and it never really stopped being shit. 30 years later EA pretends to be good by releasing source. Kind of meaningless.

They can turn it around except hell would freeze over before that.

If they really wanted to redeem themselves, they should public domain it, allowing anyone to make new Command and Conquer games.
