C&C Master Collection Released on Steam: Gaming Renaissance or Zoomer Infestation?


Recommended Posts

It looks like EA just dumped the entirety of the franchise on Steam as is, with some very minor patching to run on modern systems.

On one hand, I'm eager to see all the new players coming into the C&C community. There'll be plenty of discussion to be had (and newbs to pwn in multiplayer!), which will be nice. Hopefully the servers won't explode with all the additional installs over the next couple of months. However, one thing that worries me is the possibility of total young'un takeover. I understand that not everyone under the age of 20 is some braindead 'Skibidi Toilet' obsessed Tik Tokker, but the last thing we need is people spamming the forms and ingame chats with "Yo, where's the battle pass and V-bucks? No cap, sheesh!" or "Wow, Nod is using chemical weapons? That's so not bussin, not on fleek, I'm going to complain to EA on Twitter".

How do you guys feel about the popularity? And am I just bitter and paranoid, or do you think we might actually get flooded & taken over by the Tik Tok generation?

Zoomers want story grit.

They are tired of soft games. One Example: ODST halo over newest halo.(ODST seemed more visually appealing to my younger coworkers even though it's technically lower graphics).

The storyline seemed more real and emersive, as instead of telling you how rough it is in the halo universe, they showed you.

Lastly older games relied on artists drawing/faking lighting rather than relying on dynamic engine lighting.

Something about all the above adds grit or a sense of reality, which most my younger coworks appreciate more.

Bonus anecdote: One of my coworkers played tiberian sun for the first time and said he was surprised a character named hassan was executed by Kane early on. Do newer games not have executions.
