Hey @WarrenKWoodhouse how many titles are you seeing when you go to that page?

He's right; Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun and their expansions are not in the list.
Though, most of the items just seem to redirect to https://commandandconquer.com/ anyway...

Of course I’m right, I’m a C&C fan! I’ve played the first one when I was in primary school. 😃 But yes, they’re not listed nor is the studio logo or website (as I’ve noticed this on The Sims pages they showcase the Maxis logo and that links to the Maxis studio website). As far as I’m aware of, Westwood Studios has merged into EA DICE Los Angeles. So the Westwood Studios logo needs to be included in the footer of those pages along with a link to www.dice.se since that’s the new website for Westwood Studios. I’ve noticed that most of the game expansion pack pages redirect to the main page of C&C instead of their actual pages. Maybe recreating the pages might help?

Not many, just the ones on the #Games section. The ones I’ve mentioned prior are the ones you’re missing from the page indefinitely. I’ve checked using other browsers too. Most of the pages redirect back to the homepage of C&C. Is this issue on other pages elsewhere by any chance?

**TASK — Missing Games & Expansions (cross-reference)**
• Generals (redirects to homepage of C&C)
• Generals: Zero Hour (redirects to homepage of C&C)
• Red Alert 2 (not listed)
• Red Alert: Retaliation (not listed. First C&C game I’ve played. Really enjoyed it. So did my dad!)
• Generals: World Builder (not listed)
As far as I’m aware of, these aren’t listed and neither is the Westwood Studios logo and website link in the footer. These need to be included and updated for the sake of continuity and posterity.

Retaliation is the just Playstation version of the Red alert 1 expansions, though.
And I don't see why you insist so vehemently on that Westwood logo. Westwood is dead, sheesh. Accept that already.

And btw, World Builder is also not a game.... You indeed just need to accept that Westwood/EA Pacific/EA LA/Victory Games has been bought and closed years ago by EA. So, all the right lay within EA, which would make it weird to give them credit on the new site when they don't even exist anymore....

@Nyerguds Westwood ain't dead -- just frozen in time!! Merged with EA DICE LA, so technically not dead, just a new name and location. I'm insistent because of posterity more than anything else. Each EA studio has created games and most of them are on the official EA website in the Games page, such as The Sims 4 page which has the Maxis studio and that links to the EA studio page of Maxis. For overall design per page, I would probably include each studio logo in the footer for each game that studio has made. As a nostalgic retro gamer, I can not accept that Westwood Studios is dead, not really.

@WarrenKWoodhouseThe "company" Westwood literally doesn't exist anymore. It is gone, dead, kaput.
Many people from Westwood left EA already since EA aquired them into EA LA/Danger Close Games, where many Westwood-employees got the boot. Most of them went to Petroglyph Games, but indeed some of them also went to DICE LA. As you can see, the employees of Westwood have been splintered all over the gaming-development-world. Obviously your reasons for this are nostalgic reasons, but the reality is that Westwood doesn't exist for 17 years now.... Just accept that and move on... EA could certainly improve the game-history pages, like they did on the old commandandconquer.com when the forum was still up. But referencing Westwood, nah. Especially because Westwood hasn't made any of the CNC-games after 2003.... So, please stop insisting on this as we already told you why this won't happen...

Instead of the Westwood logo I would accept EA DICE LA as the alternative. Also, love the idea of game history pages, kind of like wikis have history pages. Love the idea but definitely want to see all of the games on the games page on the EA website, past and present, expansion packs, etc.
I’ll accept Westwood is dead. Where exactly were they based at originally and at their last place because I’m making a map of the video game developers worldwide and definitely need to add them to the map. :D
