    Kinda surreal to see a huge franchise like CnC become obscure. Or was it never as popular as I thought it was? Seemed like everyone I knew was playing it during the RA2 era, but maybe that was just my friend group.

      it was huge in the 90s and still pretty solid in the 00s, but it's been 14 years since the last game (which everyone hated). if we dont count the mobile game and the remasters it's no wonder there's no zeitgeist anymore edgeworth-shrug

          well if FPS games start their decline this decade in 15 years im sure we'll get those too sicko-satan

          i dont think the FPS genre will ever reach that point though, unless something drastic happens and some other genre gobbles their market share

      It was popular for a PC game, but PC gaming was pretty niche back then.

      I have noticed everyone my age seems to have played it, but 18 years without a good game is a long time
