... But with the release of C&C3 and the fact that EA has milked the last amount of money out of the old games, if enough people got behind the idea and people with ties to EA got involved do you think we could get them to give the game to us and make it freeware. Perhaps tying in some C&C3 advertising or something claiming that it might help boost sales.

About as likely as seeing a rocking horse shit I know but just an idea.

If the game source code was free, the number of cheats would skyrocket.

The renegade source code needs to be given to jonwil and nobody else because he actually shares what he makes! Whitedragon is cool too!

I am not suggesting that the sourcecode be given out, only that EA host a working serial generator so that people can just download and play without having to buy the game.

I don't know if the 5 bucks is what's really keeping the masses from playing renegade but i don't know

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Obviously not, but lot's of people in multi gaming clans will try a game out if it's free and you can just download it - it could only increase traffic that this game could use.

EA is a corporation and like most businesses, their main goal is to make money. Giving games away for free makes them no money, and more than likely causes them support and legal problems. In short, don't hold your breath Smile

In a last attempt to get ANY money out of the old westwood games. They came out with the first decade.

Ha do you really think it will be their last ("first decade +2" or something like that).
