What strikes me the most is how its a multibillion dollar company but a large part of the work was seemingly done by staff in their free time and by modders. Its seems like EA itself did the bare minimum.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were told "you can do this but it can't cost us anything and its in your own time".

Fuck EA.

EA did something good?

And all of the 90s artists agreed to relicense the Road Rash soundtrack music??

I like this feeling, and I can't wait to try the Road Rash remaster.

It's this why I saw the entire wing Commander library for sale on steam? I played the first two and privateer in my old 486, but had to tinker with config.sys and autoexec.bat to clear enough cache and there was no way I could stretch to to play #3

Some of those later ones were like movies with meson drivers mixed in. Mark Hamil, John rhys-davies? I think I remember Christopher Walken giving me friend-or-foe radar at some point?

Those games all take me back, wow!

As modders worked "volunteer hours in the spirit of bringing joy to the greater community,"

And each game is $5 on GOG right now (on sale) and they were put together by volunteer modders in the community? Seems shitty that EA is turning goodwill work into profit. But it's EA, what else can I expect?

dammit i loved all of those games, but i don't want to give EA money
