Get C&C For Free
" @Ryan said:So did I, but for 20€ I think that was one of the best game purchases I've ever made." assuming you didn't foolishly waste money on Command & Conquer: The First Decade back in 2006. "AHHH!!! But I did! "
I do believe that the original C&C and Red Alert have been available for free from EA for quite a while now, but Tiberian Sun is a new addition.
I would wager that when the time for Red Alert 4 comes, they'll add Red Alert 2 and the Yuri expansion to that free list.
Man, that brings back some memories.
Wish these games worked under XP64. But they don't. Oh well, I suppose I should upgrade to Windows 7 soon.
I must have installed C&C: TD, no joke, about 30 times. I thought that installation sequence was the raddest thing about the game.
You do know that the first Command and Conquer has been free since C&C 3 came out, and Red Alert has been free since RA3, right? The only new thing here is Tiberian Sun.
What if you don't have a single grati to your name?
@phrosnite:
Yeah, more studios (or copyright holders, if the studio's gone) should do this, definitely.
Honestly, how the fuck does that make me an idiot? Free is free, it's not like I'm taking away their profits by downloading it from a different source - if anything, I'm helping them by saving them the bandwidth it takes to download it from their site. :/" @Three0neFive said:

I consider all pirates to be idiots.
Therefore, if you pirate a game, you're an idiot.
EA is giving the game away for free, but all you're doing is promoting the use of torrents by getting the game from one instead of the official source.
I suggest that there is not one single person on this website who has not pirated or torrented something at least once in their lives so no one should be throwing around insults. ." @Three0neFive said:

I personally don't like the new C&C games by EA. I played the game for a little while then I stopped because it lacked the originality it once had. The new ones are all about graphics and chicks. All flash no substance.
Please Petroglyph Games (The original C&C team ). Please take over C&C once more.
A great idea for those who have yet to enjoy that which is the Almighty C&C games. I have purchased the First Decade, and boy was it worth it.

I have never pirated a single thing.
Just installed all of them, and got them to work. Seems like I won't be playing any games for awhile!
I pirated personally first decade im not gonna pay for the crap that that game is with all its problems with multiplayer, and compatibility issues...ect EA released a compilation and did it in a retarded way, so the fans had to fix it. and twononfive i'm proud! damn proud i pirated it that game didn't deserve a release not when EA never fixed the bugs or any thing.
I only download TV series (recorded episodes instead of DVD rips if possible) and some anime. I buy my games and music because I can afford it and I like to support the good stuff out there. I also go to movies instead of pirating DVD rips. I have also bought over 5 complete TV show DVD box sets so far and planning to buy the ones I like the most in the future also." @fentonalpha said:

Plus that "at least once" shit is irrelevant, the thing what matters is if you do it many times a year or every month for the stuff you shouldn't get for free in the first place. Many also think that if you are that open about pirating you are pirating other stuff also, not only this.

it is good of EA because no one is buying C&C4, even though it is remotely noting like the previous games. I guess Kane's Wrath was the last C&C game before EA destroyed it.
Meh... Had TD since 96 and TS since 99.
Cool for those who, for whatever insane reason, have only played the new ones.
