I guess this is as close to public domain that software can be until the 2070s. Functionally no different to use, but you are not allowed to make any money selling it.
Why not? I don't see it in the additional terms, so if you mean the GPL part then https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html
What is the best c&c style game that has been released in the last couple years?

ScenarioInit = 0; // Kludge. I vibe with the authors.
What makes this especially funny is that this is the very second line of the entire game, at least in the case of Red Alert! So very CPP.

Does open-source mean it's free? I don't think that is what it means, it just means the source is open, viewable, and you are free to use it as per the licensing.
That's called source-available, unless "use it as per the licensing" includes further freedoms
IDK why but it ironically brings me joy to find typos in old code. Maybe a reminder that we're all human (well back when code was written by humans /s). https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection/...
Some influencer coder right now "i don't use IDE, because it makes my coding more detailed & thorough"
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.
This is a terribly naive comment. I'm not going to even go into the specifics. 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.
And by this I mean myself.
If anyone used to play Zero Hour, there is still an active community. They still have tournaments and world series. A guy called Dominator on Youtube casts it all and its a pretty entertaining blast from the past. I recommend checking out his channel.
