I guess I like Command and Conquer to much. I also seem to remember some other EA games I liked (to old to remember). So I guess I disagree that EA sucks.

I like command and conquer also. Every game i have purchased so far has not had any drm. Hopefully Red Alert 3 will be the same way... And i don't think Google buying valve is a bad thing at all.

reply to DaMaGeINC
Google isn't always good, and they can always get worse. Nobody starts out intending to be a monopoly that behaves badly.

reply to inurenegade
Nope, your SCREWED. EA is polluting Red Alert 3 with the same DRM garbage BS that they put into Spore. I was in the beta, and as soon as I heard that, I uninstalled it. I'm done with EA's crap.

reply to DaMaGeINC
Why does anyone have to buy them? If they are successful why can't they just continue on their own?

reply to anonnnnnn
EA has been playing relatively nicely recently. EA also doesn't have a record of your whole life down to what commercial you get up to drop a deuce while you watch Lost. I'd rather have EA.

Either way, I seriously doubt this is at all true at this point. It would be more believable if it were Microsoft.

most of the better C&C games came out when EA wasn't the franchise owner.

reply to Combat Chuck
Microsoft had their chance and passed on them. So did Yahoo.

reply to viperlmw
Best C&C Games came out when Westwood was developing them.
Good old days. C&C3 wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the original.

reply to Cune
Doesn't mean they wouldn't offer at a later point. Google and Valve don't seem to be a good fit.

Valve has a very different style of developing games that would likely conflict with the interests of management at a larger company. I seriously doubt that they will sell out until most of the founders are ready to retire/leave.

one word. GREED.

a profitable business plan can mean long-term profits and long- term wealth, OR you can sell for a butt-load of cash NOW and get rich quick.

then you can concentrate on the Next Big Thing...

not to mention everyone seems to want everything NOW instead of working hard, saving, and accumulating wealth oer time.
