[Basho]

as per the title, a bunch of classic EA games are now on steam.

probably mostly nostalgia trips in most cases (myself inculded) as some are a bit clunky by todays standards, but some are really good as-is too.

id recommend checking out The Saboteur and C&C Generals for anyone who hasnt played them.

Alpha Centauri is an amazing game too, especially in the world building aspect of it, but it is very clunky compared to modern Civ games.

Doesn't seem to be required at all for most of these classic games. So far I've run a couple of Command and Conquer games and Populous without any EA client interferring.

Best thing I can say about EA is that Blizzard has slightly surpassed them for worst company ever.

Boy would I love to get these, too bad EA is on my blacklist going on idk 6-8 years now for telling me that my game I bought can only ever be installed on a single computer at a time. And if I don't have access to the old computer, tough luck.

Really? Within the T&C at the bottom of the pages of some of the games, it mentions 'ONLINE AUTHENTICATION' required? I don't play online, but do you need anything for single, such as the game 'Command & Conquer™ 3: Kane’s Wrath'?

I'm so confused with all this nonsense.

Still no Mercenaries 1 or 2. But at least The Saboteur is on sale.

I do not agree with their EA Play TOS.

Can still buy a lot of these on GOG, without any DRM.

I know Steam fanboys won't like that, but that's a way better alternative, tbh.

I love both Steam and Gog. Valve could learn a thing or two from them.

Sorry folks, no matter how hard I try (which is admittedly not very hard, because why bother), I can't think of Sim City as an E.A. franchise. Maxis 4 ever!

Also, where are E.A's. 16 bit sports games?

Now that's unfair; just because england owns Valve doesn't mean they represent it.

These are essential:

Affirmative, moving out.

I would have included The Saboteur but apparently it doesn't work with Windows 10.

"Hmmm. I guess it's time for me to find a good airline job."
