Remember that Command and Conquer free-to-play game being developed by Victory Games (AKA Bioware Victory)? Well, the game is cancelled and the studio is closed.

"Your feedback from the alpha trial is clear: We are not making the game you want to play," the post reads. "That is why, after much difficult deliberation, we have decided to cease production of this version of the game. Although we deeply respect the great work done by our talented team, ultimately it's about getting you the game you expect and deserve."

This was a game that we all had some very strong emotions about, often expressed very passionately. In memory of this game, shall we have one last stream of comments expressing ourselves?

You should have used a picture of some catastrophe in Sim City.

Although we deeply respect the great work done by our talented team, - we are going to fire all of them.

ultimately it's about getting your money.

"It's about what you want". Yeah right. What they mean is there weren't enough people interested in this, and few players = few micro-transactions.

Is this what Jon Van Caneghem was working on at EA? Quick, Ubisoft - hire him while you have the chance!

"Victory" Studios turned out not such a good name.

Also, we need a "popamole" subforum.

I don't know, this sure looks like a victory to me

So... basically, they made a game nobody cared about, following down the same path of C&C4 which was fucking abysmal and nobody liked, even against the wishes and protests of their fans? I'm honestly surprised it even made it out of pre-production, and also quite surprised EA would waste all the work they did. Surely such a game could be re-configured into something people do want, rather than just firing everyone and scrapping the project.

By now EA has created so much deficit, that a few more millions don't matter.

I played the one that came in the EA bundle. Bored me to tears. Not sure why anyone liked this.

Here's my feelings:

THANK KANE. A great travesty was narrowly avoided.

Victory indeed.
