Maybe, but the C&C Red Alert 2 used as an example is relevant, because Electronic Arts has released the previous games in the series as 100% free downloads, but not open sourced them.
So the original Command & Conquer, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun are free as in beer now.
- seba_dos1 2y agoUhm, aren't Tiberian Sun and Red Alert (at least the parts with main game logic) GPLv3 now?
- RF_Savage 2y agoNot really in anyway, they are freeware. OpenRA might be GPL, but that's a complete re-implementation and extension of the original engine.
- seba_dos1 2y agoI'm not talking about OpenRA, but the source released by Electronic Arts under GPLv3 with the Remastered Collection: https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection It doesn't include the full engine, but as far as I'm aware this is the full source for parts specific to Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn, as the main motivation for releasing the source was to facilitate modding. I haven't looked very deep though, so do correct me if I'm wrong.
