I'm not sure if this is permanent or not, so take advantage while you can.

      It’s normal to reduce prices as games get older

    A shame they never continued the remasters to Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Sun.

    Would be nice to see the Generals games get some attention too, they weren’t “traditional” C&C titles but were still fun to play.

      Am I alone in wanting a Generals remaster in the 2D isometric format?

      They had a c&c team shooter at one point that was a blast.

      Imho they really missed out on defining the split-role FPS/RTS genre, they had all the peices but just never put them together.

        There is a free fan made remake of the shooter. https://totemarts.games/games/renegade-x/

        Unfortunately while EA seems fine with them distributing this as long as it is free, they won’t allow them to put it on Steam.

        I haven’t played it in a couple of years so I don’t know if there are still active servers but it is a very good remake.

      Taking history into consideration, yes. This is unprecedented benevolence as far as EA goes.

    This looks like a reduction in base price, as the steam store pages do not mention any discount percentage.
    price should be permanent.

    This happens as games stop pulling in sales. I grabbed an old Rally game when they dropped the price to 99¢
