Yeah it's like your renting the game. It's pretty unfair to assume everyone has a stable Internet connect all the time and then structure your games around that. If that continues I will stop playing video games because I think I deserve some kind of respect from video games companies since I'm the consumer of their products.
Not really c&c 3 was okay but I was never really amazed by the series but I respected it. But now all that respect is gone. Shame to see good games die. Though I have to say the live action cut scenes were both original and kinda weird.
No, at that time I was playing age of empires. But I did notice that the 95 version has been free ware since 2008. So I might check it out if I am able to install it.
I really dislike C&C 4. I reinstalled C&C 3 again and playing that game now, it's way better... about Generals, it's nice game, but sadly without the C&C background.
