It’s normal to reduce prices as games get older

A shame they never continued the remasters to Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Sun.

Would be nice to see the Generals games get some attention too, they weren’t “traditional” C&C titles but were still fun to play.

Am I alone in wanting a Generals remaster in the 2D isometric format?

maybe openra will get to it in a few decades

They had a c&c team shooter at one point that was a blast.

Imho they really missed out on defining the split-role FPS/RTS genre, they had all the peices but just never put them together.

There is a free fan made remake of the shooter. https://totemarts.games/games/renegade-x/

Unfortunately while EA seems fine with them distributing this as long as it is free, they won't allow them to put it on Steam.

I haven't played it in a couple of years so I don't know if there are still active servers but it is a very good remake.

Taking history into consideration, yes. This is unprecedented benevolence as far as EA goes.

Remember, sense of accomplishment goes a long way

This looks like a reduction in base price, as the steam store pages do not mention any discount percentage.
price should be permanent.

Does Red Alert 3 need Origin?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

This happens as games stop pulling in sales. I grabbed an old Rally game when they dropped the price to 99¢

Dead Island 2 was free for a few days

[–] ytterbium@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Still too expensive.

Looks like I'm spending eight dollars today
