I’m not well versed in C&C, but it’s always good to see more games open sourced.

    To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game

    Was expecting a catch. Still good for modding I guess

    Anyone know if this is a technologically-enforced “must” or just a “pretty please”?

      Open source does not mean that the intellectual property is free. There’s a lot of good that comes from this, and it’s not like those games are expensive.

    This is brilliant! :) aw, I hope it benefits the OpenRA developers and means more fun things to play eventually :)

    Wait… this is EA… are they okay? This is very unlike them

          That would be a completely legendary move if the dev hired by EA just said “fuck it, I’m open-sourcing this shit!”

            It sounds like that’s what happened, but through the proper channels. They hired a known CnC community/modding site admin as the dev.

            I’d imagine he pitched that this was an easy way to reduce maintenance costs while fostering massive good will and making the amount of long tail sales over time higher.
