I'm not sure if the C&C games are still legally free. EA hosted the ISO files as promo for another game. Later they removed the downloads and other sites just mirrored all files. The only way to get the games from EA is to buy the Ultimate Collection for round about 30€. The Collection includes 10 games and their expansions.

Buy till you can, Interplay is looking for someone who would buy their remaining IDs, and we all know what that usually means - pulling games from GOG :(

Hope it is still legal, because community did great job supporting higher resolutions and modern systems. EA actualy did nothing in this department - just repacked 90's files (and even this - they forgot to include some...)

Also if it wasnt legal ea lawyers would already shut down downloads on bigger sites.

I own physical first decade and ultimate on origin - but having it on gog - would be much more convinient (my pc is alergic to origin/drm)

I-interplay... PROMO?
WHO KNOWS! ;P

I'd love to see the C&C games come to GOG but I really doubt they ever will, or at least they're as likely to as Starcraft or some other Blizzard game is to show up here. I say that because the entire collection of every C&C game ever made - "The Ultimate Collection" regularly goes on sale several times a year for $5 and includes 17 games including expansion packs. It's been packaged like that for years and I imagine it is the best selling item as far as C&C products go, and a better deal than buying any of the games individually.

GOG sells some multi-game pack collections but not as a set of 17 games so if that collection were to be offered up to GOG they'd likely want to break it down into smaller groups of games in multiple packs if not right down to individual games. No matter how one sliced it, I highly doubt GOG would sell it for $5 on sale like it is sold now for years for the entire collection. If they did it would be without any precedence.

But, the collection of C&C games is huge and spans a great long period of time from the oldest to the newest game in the collection. More likely than not if any of the games would be offered, they would be individual games and probably only the oldest games. They're very well liked games and so they would probably not only be sold individually, but at a high price because they'd be very high demand DRM-free for the first time in digital format here. I bet they'd go for $10-20 each regular and go on sale here for $3-5 or more. While there are people here who would be happy with that, I think a lot of people would balk at it and cry unfair that the DRM-free GOG versions are like $5 each on sale but the entire collection is available on Origin on sale for $5 even though it isn't DRM-free.

Can't say it's impossible because nothing is impossible but it seems incredibly unlikely to me that EA would even remotely consider doing that. If it were to happen though, whether piecemeal or as a pack and whichever at whatever price, it would be a step in the right direction at least, but I doubt it is very likely.

EA is not blizzard - they are not so protective - they will go where easy money are.

We will see c&c games here, 10$ each (maby c&c 3 will be 15$-20) in less than year. - yes, i have crystall ball (that doesnt sound right...) and black cat

10$ each; are you insane? C&C Ultimate Collection; with all games and expansions is 15$ on Origin; when on 50% discount! ;-)

How many people will pay more, not too install origin? I would :P

Of course; but did/would you install Galaxy?!

I have it installed on both pc. On gaming rig its in autorun, on smaller i run it only when installing games. I dont have problem with galaxy as long it's trully optional. The only feature it's missing is savegame sync.

Also most of my lib is backed up on local server as offline installers with no need for galaxy.

I wonder what big release we are getting today now that there is no weekend sale or maybe its another big sale coming?

I see, you are very smart and organized as I am!
But lets wait and see whose crystal ball is better; I predict that GOG Galaxy will not be trully optional very soon, when it leaves beta!

I hope your crystal ball is wrong. In my opinion, Galaxy is worse than Steam and Origin combined and being optional is its only advantage.

Well, promos and new releases usually come exactly at noon Polish time, but some big things are released at 3 p.m. So we should see what the GOG staff have prepared for us in less than an hour.

maybe the promo guy is sick at home with explosive diarrhea. he may have had spicy food that was too apicy
