General What Killed Command & Conquer? Can It Ever Come Back?

[Al]

Once upon a time, Command & Conquer was the RTS franchise. Then EA happened. The C&C Remastered Collection was a solid nod to the past, but it didn’t bring the series back to life. So, is C&C just dead and buried, or is there still a way forward?

Would a new C&C need to evolve to survive, or should it double down on what made the classics great? Is Stormgate the closest thing we’ll get to a proper revival, or are C&C fans doomed to keep hoping for something that’ll never come?

What went wrong, and does Command & Conquer have any real chance of making a comeback?

The answer is actually very simple, although people like to complicate it. Greed and impatience killed many classic franchises, and Command & Conquer is not an exception. Instead of improving the formula gradually, somebody somewhere decided to chase the trends. And that's the same thing companies are doing everywhere now.

Generals 2 and EA killed te franchise really. They were workingf on C&C Generals 2 and they tried to change it to free to play causing a community rtevolt. Really bad times, man. Really bad times.
