When can EA give us a real C&C game?

I'd like Red Alert 4.

Who needs EA?

I think the numbers are clearer to these larger companies more than us fans. If the RTS did that well, then I guess EA would have invested in a proper C&C. Right now the money seems to be in the mobile space rather than proper RTS games. So it seems like a distant dream.

Even if it is: They could make a C&C game like Advance Wars, but I bet its more like a Clash of Clans clone instead.

They are going where they can make the most money it seems.

We can only wait :/

Yep. It's no longer "Make the most money with the best game possible."
These days it's just "Make the most money with the best game possible."

Sadly that has become the reality

I don't think many people would enjoy a new C&C game by EA though. Content would be hidden behind a paywall, and new vehicles, structures & training would be unlockable via loot crates.

People keep throwing money at EA, which reinforces their business model. Then the rest wonder why we can't have nice things anymore.

The only hope would be a triple-A military RTS from another company ...

Can? Whenever.
Will? Never.

Check out Stardock's Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation. It's a really solid RTS. I play it quite a bit.

It's even worse than that. It's non-gamer sports fans foolishly throwing all their money into Fifa Ultimate Team et al that is protecting EA from suffering the consequences of their shitty anti-consumer practices. That and to a lesser extent the fratbros that snap up CAWADOODY every year. We can boycott all we like, but their stock price is up 500% in 5 years and you look at their profits and 90% of them are literally MTX.
