GlorFindel: 10$ each; are you insane? C&C Ultimate Collection; with all games and expansions is 15$ on Origin; when on 50% discount! ;-)
It's $4.99 on Origin when on 75% discount which happens fairly often: [url=https://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/price?plain=commandandconquerultimatecollection]https://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/price?plain=commandandconquerultimatecollection[/url]
They don't even sell every one of the C&C games on Steam, nor the big collections. I think if EA was wanting to expand the number of sales of the C&C games beyond their own Origin store and the much smaller collection of individual C&C games that are on Steam right now that they'd add more of the games that are not on Steam to Steam since they already do business with Valve, they are generally a pro-DRM publisher anyway, and sales statistics for Steam would be much higher. There are some publishers that have brought older titles to GOG first such as Disney, but those games weren't even available on the market for ages and needed some lovin and GOG got a temp exclusive on them. Not the case with C&C games at all though.
TTBOMK, there hasn't been any official or reputable rumours of any of the C&C games coming to GOG or widening their distribution, nor of EA becoming more GOG or DRM-free friendly that I'm personally aware of, so I at least firmly believe that it is extremely unlikely. If someone else has heard anything reputable and has a link to a source of any information that suggests otherwise I'm eager to see/hear/read it though. If not then I think it's just wishful thinking. It's ok to have wishful thinking though of course, and I too have it as well for some games, just not the C&C games or Blizzard games. :) I have wishful thinking for the missing TOS titles, and missing id titles instead as they seem much more plausible to come here ATM and I think there are some accidental leaked info that they may show up in another thread in the forums. :)
Convert me to the cult of C&C believers for GOG though, show me some evidence even if it is shaky and slim. :)
