Looks like somebody is in need of cash 😂. But to be fair, these games were back in the day mighty good. It's really a shame to see how both greed and ever growing ambitious killed creativity.

I own all of C&C on Origin, but I'd rather get a root canal without anesthetic than use their launcher. I paid Steam $10 instead.

Don’t you still need the EA launcher through steam though? I don’t want to buy the ultimate collection again if that’s the case

EDIT: I can confirm I just launched RA2 without the launcher after buying through steam. Halleluiah
