I'm not well versed in C&C, but it's always good to see more games open sourced.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's some write-off move. A bit like Epic Games released all Paragon assets after they canceled the game.

As I understand accounting, you really don't need to do stuff like this to write off your assets.

I'm not saying there isn't a cynical corporate reason for doing this but I doubt this is it.

Epic released those to add value to their engine not as a write off

EA released this to boost Steam Workshop content - which would boost sales - not as a write off
