     From the Command & Conquer Generals source code.

     Oh how that gave me a chuckle 😂

     @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social Red Alert is kinda useless because OpenRA already exists, but I think Generals and Renegade is pretty big news.

     @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social Even though the Generals source code is not useful yet because replacements need to be written for proprietary dependencies.

     @gamingonlinux omg I was not expecting this kind of news coming from this series, especially C&C Generals which I love so dearly and played so much as a kid. 🥹

     @gamingonlinux Pleasantly surprised it is under the GPL too.

     The Sims rerelease gets Denuvo and the Command and Conquer pack is relatively issue free. I wonder if this is because a doll house sim is still in strong demand and RTSes are a difficult sell if they are not made by Blizzard.

     @gamingonlinux

     Right now ? From them ? First time ever ? With the ridiculous header in the code ?

     Seems like a trojan for brains.
     Linux brains.

     Expect super immersive mods up to date with the lastest armaments !

     Could be wrong though.
