final nail in the coffin
You know they’re going to monetize the fifa out of this one! Goodbye child-hood memories (even though I don’t like rts games anymore lol).
GREAT COMMENT FROM YOUTUBE 
Wow, it’s almost impressive how C&C: Rivals looks nothing like a regular game in the series. You can imagine the naming process went something like:
Programmer: Okay sir, it took me all week but I finished that mobile game you asked me to make.
EA Manager: Good, is the only logical way to progress through microtransactions? And are there popups for those microtransactions on every screen?

EA Manager: Ha, fuck no, that costs money! Also, I’m not too high about the name: Generic Strategy Game Mega Plus: Rivals, too new, too much original personality… What rights to good strategy games do we already have?
Programmer: Uhhmm… I dunno… There’s the…

It seems they will eventually add “rivals” to the end of each series’ name. First NFS, now C&C. Eventually we will have peggle rivals, dragon age rivals, etc.
