If you threw a stone at E3 2018 right now, you’re likely to hit somebody that’s flummoxed and maddened by the decision to take Command & Conquer to mobiles.
Commander & Conquer: Rivals, announced this morning and currently in alpha, has drawn the ire of gamers and series die-hards alike. Of course, this could largely be thanks to EA’s standing with gamers and their reputation for buying out and shuttering companies, much like they did with Westwood Studios, the original developers of Command & Conquer.
If you’re sensitive to seeing people in crippling pain, perhaps avert your eyes, there’s a lot of broken hearts in the tweets below.
Command and conquer.

That Command and Conquer trailer looked like an ad you would skip as soon as possible in another mobile game

Fair to say, no one is pleased.
