You need Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection on Steam for the game assets in order to play OpenRA.It's on sale currently. Hindsight is 20/20, but wish I had picked it up for €2 around new years.. Also, the appimage needs to be run as sudo, otherwise it crashes with a seg fault.
When did they make that a requirement? I was playing open RA last year and the only thing I didn't have was music.
Sorry, you're right, I didn't read the info box correctly.
OpenRA has already done more for the RTS industry and growing new ideas forward than EA will ever do. They killed the C&C franchise, and helped kill the RTS genre with it.
It is going to be funny when all of a sudden the RTS industry comes back from the dead with a vengence because all of a sudden there are good moddable platforms for RTS games that massive investment companies can't vacuum up and extract the spine and heart out of.
IGN will interview the CEO of EA and they will be like "Wow, we never saw this resurgence of RTS games coming! Isn't it crazy? Nobody could have predicted this, none of us did!"
