Huh. TIL Slashdot is still around, and EA is actually capable of not being evil once the profits run out. Weird. I still think they're cunts, and used their monopolistic aspirations to completely shit on the entire gaming industry, which will never be the same because of it— but it's interesting to see the pure profit motivator play out. C&C is a dead franchise, so they've actually let people who care about it play with said franchise in a more relaxed and less red-tape-y kind of way. Moral of the story? Destroy all EA franchises so that, like a mighty Phoenix, we may rebuild them from the ashes.
