Well they could work on the bugs while doing the next batch I mean I would love them to do it as these games are worth getting a new lease of life on newer computers and they did a amazing job here,

That's not how "work" works. Whatever you're working on takes time. If they'd start working on something new then anything they could do on the current game would be slowed down.
Well that depends really.
EA is big enough to have a team fixing bugs while another team works on remastering every single C&C game not remastered without loosing any time in anyway.
I sadly do not know the size of the partners helping and hence if their teams are big enough to have some working on bug fixes while the rest works on next batch without running into issues.
But normally most developers has a team to handle bugs while the others work on next games meaning it won't slow anything down.
For that reason I just thought you know beside I haven't had any bugs in the current remastered game so far and I'm almost done everything so I want next to come out lol.
I seriously doubt Petroglyph has the staff to work on the remasters (bug fixing etc) AND their new game Earthbreakers AND whatever other work they may be doing for any of their other titles (if any) AND also have the resources to work on a TS or RA2 remaster at the same time.
EA isn't doing any of the actual development. And Petroglyph is really a rather small company.
I didn't know that I thought EA was part of it hence well high hopes lol also I wan't all of them remastered not just a few I missed these games to the point I several times almost bought a old school PC that could play them lol.
Damn sorry to hear to a degree as I have been so happy to play these old games again I couldn't wait for the next lol, I guess I just has to hope the team at Petrogylph get to it.

Here is how "work" functions. I'll use General Motors as an example. If you can't win with your competition, like Toyota, you make a joint product with them and call it a Geo. You try a U.S. made small car called the Cavalier and lose big, so you go to your European branch called Opel and have them introduce anl Ascona in the U.S. and call it a Cobalt. After that fails, you go to Daihatsu in Korea and get them to make the Cruze and Sonic. I don't even remember where the Aveo fits in that picture.
The S-10 small truck just gets clobbered by the Frontier, Tacoma and even the Ford Ranger, so you make small-box Silverados and drop the S-10 line.
It's like rooting for the Cleveland Browns for a decade and waiting for them to win big. You have brands that you like and you want them to do really well so you can get with others and share experiences, but companies don't care about you. GM has been selling cars to the Chinese since the late 90s. They don't worry about the North American market. They gave a big share of it to the Japanese and the Korean based manufacturers.
If you have smaller competition that is really embarrassing you like Saturn, Hummer, or Saab, buy the company and shut it down. If your sport car product is flat out junk, like Pontiac, you may have to just let it fail. But GM could not buy Toyota or Honda or even Kia or Hyundai. They can't even buy the talent from those companies and get some of the employees to join GM.
EA is no different. They'll farm out work to the Ear East, they'll buy their competition and close the doors to the franchise, or sometimes just lose too much market share to keep a game running. I don't see them as having the passion to develop a great product like we saw in the 90s, because the concept is not new. The market for PC or console games is not what it was because of cell phone advances in technology. So, top-heavy corporate policy, lack of development skill or vision and a shrinking market dictates what "work" is- and it all sucks for those that want a great Westwood game to come back, even if they are willing to pay good money for it ☹️
