if that's true that's fantastic!!! Although as Freeware it will probably end up on Reloaded
I wonder what will be next (since they asked us to stay tuned). I was thinking Red Alert, since they are not that much different in graphics. btw - anyone knows how to use the trainers for C&C Gold as they don't seem to work at all under WinXP (catching the wrong memory).

If the publisher releases a game as freeware, it doesn't matter whether it is sold or not. Vide Electro Man - still sold @ epicclassics, but released as freeware some time ago.

(or until a permission) [/b][/quote] Yeah originally C&C was released as a limited distributed freeware title for September, when it goes down from the EA servers then we will see what happens, plus if it is mentioned by EA that other third party sites will allow the game for download (need a quote pretty much) then at that point it could be considered freeware.

I don't see what's beneficial in making C&C available for download on this site. Just adding a link to a site which legally offers the download will provide those who want the game the chance to get it without having to bother about legal issues. Better save your time and bandwith for gems which aren't obtainable elsewhere.

The version on the site here isn't only a different and older version of the game (not the Win95 version but the 100%-ignored-by-EA-and-totally-not-sold-anymore original DOS version), it's also in three languages.
So for people who might want to see the REAL original C&C1, and/or play the game in French or German, this is a pretty nice download. Also, it's a 'lite' version without the videos or music. Not everyone can spare the bandwidth to download about a gigabyte of ISOs. |

Maybe somebody should ask permission(or see if the game is freeware now) from EA to host the DOS version......
