- It’s normal to reduce prices as games get older
A shame they never continued the remasters to Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Sun.
Would be nice to see the Generals games get some attention too, they weren’t “traditional” C&C titles but were still fun to play.
- Am I alone in wanting a Generals remaster in the 2D isometric format?
  
  maybe openra will get to it in a few decades
- They had a c&c team shooter at one point that was a blast.
  Imho they really missed out on defining the split-role FPS/RTS genre, they had all the peices but just never put them together.
  
  There is a free fan made remake of the shooter. https://totemarts.games/games/renegade-x/
  Unfortunately while EA seems fine with them distributing this as long as it is free, they won't allow them to put it on Steam.
  I haven't played it in a couple of years so I don't know if there are still active servers but it is a very good remake.
this is genorosity now?
- Taking history into consideration, yes. This is unprecedented benevolence as far as EA goes.
  
  Remember, sense of accomplishment goes a long way
This looks like a reduction in base price, as the steam store pages do not mention any discount percentage.
price should be permanent.
Does Red Alert 3 need Origin?
This happens as games stop pulling in sales. I grabbed an old Rally game when they dropped the price to 99¢
Dead Island 2 was free for a few days
Still too expensive.
Looks like I'm spending eight dollars today
