Finally someone can fix Twilight Flame
This is brilliant! :) aw, I hope it benefits the OpenRA developers and means more fun things to play eventually :)
Wait... this is EA... are they okay? This is very unlike them
Almost like a mistake?
I think the old Westwood dev they put in charge of the franchise just doesn't have any oversight.
That would be a completely legendary move if the dev hired by EA just said "fuck it, I'm open-sourcing this shit!"

It's about thyme!
To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game
Was expecting a catch. Still good for modding I guess
Anyone know if this is a technologically-enforced “must” or just a “pretty please”?
I'm assuming this is more about art assets. Art is not code and you shouldn't expect them for free. It's not a catch.

The entire series is on sale on Steam right now for $6 if that helps.

That's only the HD remaster of TD and RA1.
Sorry, that was the wrong link.

Open source does not mean that the intellectual property is free. There's a lot of good that comes from this, and it's not like those games are expensive.
Though do also note that of these four, TD and RA1 were already made freeware years ago.
I realize. Intellectual property is an icky concept IMO but I know not everyone agrees

They're still requiring EA Play or $6 for the bundle on steam.
Correct. Doom and Quake still cost money as well.
Fuck EA but cool move - if they keep being not shit for long enough I might consider their products again.
Doubt they can keep it up.
Old games being open sourced is a trend I can get behind.
EA ? Did I read right ?
