Command and Conquer: Rivals - EA is really beating the dead horse here.

[Ponderous Pillock]

Death of franchise tier flop.

You know how they made Dungeon Keeper into a transparently pay to win shitpile by making it take 24 hours to dig up a single square of earth but you can speed it up by levering open your wallet?

They already lost the city builder crown thanks to the Cities Skylines people (who were a team of like 14 compared to EA's massive studio) and they hunted down and bought any IP elements that were still outstanding for SystemShock years back, then threatened anyone making a fan game with legal rains of death if they didn't comply.

The last System Shock game came out 19 years ago.
