Re: Oh great!

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.

Re: Oh great!

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.

Re: Oh great!

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.

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

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.

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.

Microsoft had their chance and passed on them. So did Yahoo.

Re: Oh great!

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.

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

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

Re: Oh great!

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.
