C & C Remastered RIP OFF
I own the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection. 17 C & C games. My question is: Why aren't EA offering a discount on the C & C Remastered Collection, to owners of the Ultimate Collecti...

The originals are not free. I believe Tiberian Sun was made free at one point. But I believe the others weren't free. The point is that I paid good money for the Ultimate C & C Collection. With it currently being £24.99 on Origin. If you don't have Origin Access. So if I was to buy the Remastered Collection, I would be buying some of the games again. I believe EA should offer some discount to owners of the Ultimate Collection because of this.
@Smegster213 C&C or RA95 where made free a while back
List of available free on CnCNet:
-Command and Conquer Tiberian Dawn
-Red Alert 1
-Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun
-Red Alert 2 (double check this, though I think it's fully free)
-Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge is treated as its own thing
The Remastered Version being £17.99 is definitely a bit much, so I will say it would have been better and more of a promotion thing if they had of made it lower cost to those who've proven themselves loyal, especially as most of those buying the game are Veterans of over 20 Years. Myself and @GENERALZOOL included, since growing up with the game for that time. Been playing Command and Conquer for so long, that I would easily say that I've clocked up at least 10,000 Hours. Considering that there is 8766 Hours in a full Year, taking into account the quarter of a day that is not usually counted, that is a lot of hours. Most of those on Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge.
I wouldn't be so mad if the game had all of the craftsmanship that should have been present from day one. Since the game has its flaws, and some of those flaws are rather intense, for the time being, I'm still playing the Original Release from 1995-1996 (PC releases) and 1997 (PS1 releases). Yes, I own the Discs for PS1, and have it on PSN as well for PS3 (still got a PS3 to play it on).

True dedication is owning the N64 Version as well as the Satum Version. Not that I have either of those myself, but then I never owned those consoles.Perhaps I should not have titled this thread as a RIP OFF.
I know the price isn't too bad.
I acknowledge that some of the games have been free in the past.
Plus I too bought the original boxed copies in the past.
I have been gaming since the days of the ZX Spectrum.
I just think it would have been a good idea for EA to reward owners of the Ultimate Collection with some form of discount, even a small one.
There have been many instances of companies rewarding owners of games with extra content / free copies of remasters etc.

Nope. All RA2 gameplay on CnCNet runs on the YR engine, and neither RA2 nor YR are freeware. If you download the installer for RA2 on CnCNet it'll just look for your YR folder and if it doesn't exist, it'll tell you that you need to buy the game.
