This is the biggest C&C news in probably the last 5 years

I think the news about the original C&C95 released as a free download was bigger.
I didn't really notice when RA1 was released as a free download, just read it from some forum a few months later.

The release of C&C3 was also more interesting. I don't think we'll get many new modders because of this.

But C&C is headed for a slow death. The body has already been stripped naked, tortured, bruised, burned and broken. The rifles have been loaded, and a public countdown of the execution is being displayed here.

95% of the C&C staff have been made redundant, so we can only hope for the proper tools to made unofficial patches I guess.

Well yea, the classics are slowly dying, mostly because of modding limitations and incompatibilities (such as the IPX protocol requirement and WaveClass errors, although the community has fixed those). C&C3 has dozens of mods in development and I think it'll stay alive for a while.

But the newest C&Cs are dying already; no one cares about RA3 or C&C4.
