Wargaming.Net acquired GPG, why not make remaster?

Wargaming.Net acquired GPG, why not make remaster Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance that will work flawlessly on newest OS and will completely support multi-threading (unlike original)? If such will be released, I'm ready to buy it for full AAA price (i.e. $60 or something).

Do you know any bosses inside? To make this request? :)

And how is this related to SCFA?
Rights to SCFA (game\franchise) belong to THG
Rights to GPG (online gaming service) belong to Wargaming
And some of the rights belong to the developer and creator of the entire series.
I'm not sure what the percentage of + was when they closed down the THG division that was doing this series, several more companies bought some of the rights.

Neither the sequel, nor the remaster of the game will ever be, the game was killed for not to be revived. Play Dota 2, CSGO, Artefact, and other Pay2Play

SCFA's developer is GPG, publisher is Square Enix. I'm pretty sure Wargaming CAN make SCFA's remake. In addition, engine of the game is not THAT old. It looks stunning and beautiful already as is. Just adding full multithreading support (link SupCom2) and support of newset GPU's will make this remake possible.

I'm all for a remake and everything but for some reason these games keep dying.

I mean total annihilation was awesome but that died, people tried a new approach with planetary annihilation but that doesn't look too good atm.

And with supreme commander they had a chance with supreme commander 2 but they dropped the ball on that.

SC2 is casual BS nothing to do with normal RTS

This is why I asked for Supreme Commander: FA remake. It wasn't causal.

There is a remake out there already. Try the LOUD project and prepare to have your mind blown... slowdown completely eliminated... cunning, challenging AI. We played a 4 vs 4 last night and had just shy of 32,000 units with no slowdown and experimentals fighting all over the place, it was epic, just the way we've always wanted it to be. Finally this year we got the game supcom always should have been!

Mods are fun but marginal and a hassle. 1% plays mods.
What we need is a real game now, that we can buy and play "out-of-the box".
Planetary Annihilation was fun but just not right even with mods.

You'll have to forgive me for being skeptical here:

Yes lets make a remastered version of this game, where we don't change a single aspect of gameplay, except bug it out more than before and make half the commands not function as intented in subtly off ways, also you have to pay for the online services now and you can no longer use mods! We also included lootcrates into this game somehow! Aren't you excited?

Oh, and you know how everything in FA was carefully balanced after consideration from the first game to have a function and use early or late-game? We decided on our own that the original developers had no idea what they were doing and rebalanced everything in such a way that spamming tanks and nothing else is the way to win, unless you have gunships. Nothing can effectively deal with swarms of gunships or fighter-bombers now.

But you know what we did do? The particles are now 10% shinier than the original! Sixty bucks please! Also no patch to fix all the bugs, ever.

Sarcasm over: Sorry, just having 'remastered/reboot' fatigue right now.

You accurately described SC2 :)
Withouth lootboxes. We really need lootboxes lol
And paid skins for the commander units.
Oh wait we had that in PA :D

Well, Remaster of MoO wasn't that bad. It was actually pretty nice. Just in comparison with Stellaris (that defined new era of 4X Space Operas) in looks bleak.

At least SC2 has optimized engine that makes full use of multiple threads and cores in the PC.
