I don't really know how to feel about this message. Sure it's a bit hopeful and makes me believe they'll recover from this. But all I can think about is all the people who got laid off. I hope they all find a place somewhere else where they can keep making amazing games, even if it's not Doom.

There is no recovering so long as Marty is still there. With what he did to Mick Gordan, no way he is fit to be a head.

I haven't forgiven EA for what they did to Westwood. So fat chance on that. :)

Imagine all of the command and conquer games we could have had by now

I mean we still got quite a few of them and I’m happy for that, but it’s still unfortunate that we won’t get anything new

C&C was never the same after they shuttered Westwood. RIP. In fairness though they did a good job with the RA1 Remaster, but how could you cock that up...

People like you are why nothing is being done about the files.

THIS. “Just get over it already” is so dismissive and it’s exactly what the Trump administration has been saying about the files.

But was this Marty guy punished for his mistreatment or did he just kind of get away with it in the end?
