Maybe someone can finally make a native Mac version. It astonishes me that EA leaves obvious money on the table by not taking the 5 mins it would take to recompile it for MacOS.
Lets assume they click one button and it recompiles, how many people would buy it? Almost certainly wouldn't pay back the dev and qa cost.

This stuff is decades old. It's completely legitimate that they may simply have lost the source code during a server migration or whatnot.
No, because Red Alert 2 Remaster exists...

I spent some time browing curiosities about old games, and what strikes me is that the code sometimes was quite personal. You could see the joy, the anger, the disappointment, the satisfaction. Nowadays it would never fly to name a variable "poo", you need to stay professional at all times.
I was a game dev in the mid 90s. It was unserious. There was all sorts of crazy shit in the graphics assets. One wall I remember says "CUNT" on it o_O I'm sad if developers can no longer name their variables poo and fuck . Also teenage me would probably be horrified finding out 30 years later his source code was public.
I guess that's why moral rights are unalienable in many countries: if you are horrified what they do with it, you still retain that and this right did not go to your employer
Not that I think there is anything here the devs need to be ashamed of, to be clear, just what came to mind as I read this remark
Please open source Nox!

Would be nice. But they all work just fine with wine and/or proton.
I haven't tried wine in ~15 years, but it was pretty useless for gaming back then. Has it much improved?
This is not a Unity game, but especially with ancient stuff like Red Alert? I would certainly try it and expect good results. Some years ago, Wine always used to give me trouble and never worked unless you used some special blend of options (like Proton and PlayOnLinux help with). Maybe those times have passed
I heard this line of code `Sound_Effect(VOC_TANYA_LAUGH, Coord);`

From what I've heard from videos by Microsoft devs on why it was dropped between XP and Vista, the source code is obtuse and very difficult to port/work on.
Why don't you check for yourself: https://github.com/k4zmu2a/SpaceCadetPinball
"Compiling" "Cannot compile, building in progress"
as I recall, at least. I may have played tibsun to death on my grandma's computer. Not that I spoke a word of English back then, so this must have been from replaying it later actually
