Re: C & C Remastered RIP OFF

I would imagine giving such a discount would result in a giant waste of time and resources. First of all, people have the games on many platforms, you can't give a discount to people using Origin without giving it to others or have a bunch of people complain. Secondly is the hordes of people with old disks, serial keys etc. - they will have a bunch of issues getting their games added to Origin, for most if not all it will be impossible and they will complain and the rest will need help. Third, such a discount would make people who want to experience C&C for the first time to feel cheated that they don't get a discount and will make them not buy the game.

In short, IMO giving people that played the original games would be a nice gesture, but an impractical expensive gesture not resulting in any more sales.

  • No it won't.

    When Bioware did the remasters of Bioshock 1 & 2, they gave them free to owners that had the original games on Steam & Bethesda Launcher.

    I doubt they would have done this if they thought it would impact sales.

    Its just typical of greedy EA to force owners of the originals into buying them again.

    Give it a few months & the remastered collection will be less than £10 from game key sites.

    I will wait.

    You cannot compare Bioshock with C&C. Bioshock was released when Steam was already a thing. C&C however is 12 years older than Bioshock.

    In short, it's easy to compare one remaster with another, but they are more often than not completely different.
