EA releases source code for Command & Conquer to modders

EA has released the source code for Command & Conquer to a community of modders who like designing new levels for the vintage RTS game.

It is a good move for the community, but it also tells me that EA sees no real way to make solid revenues on remakers of the real-time strategy brand, which was popular when I was growing up. In reaction to the restoration process of the C&C archives, EA is now releasing the fully recovered source code for Command & Conquer (aka, Tiberian Dawn) and C&C Red Alert under the GPL license. Now Steam Workshop support has gone live for: C&C Renegade, C&C Generals & Zero Hour, C&C 3 Tiberium Wars and Kane’s Wrath, C&C Red Alert 3 & Uprising and C&C 4 Tiberian Twilight.
