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

I don't have to give a shit "about their next live service game"

I care quite a lot about game preservation. This isn't defending EA; it's praising this particular action. Again, this can't be taken away from us, so it doesn't matter what their next shitty behavior is. It doesn't take away from this being good news.

Exactly, I really don't get the all or nothing thinking where you can't even acknowledge something unambiguously positive because of who is doing it.
