I'm one of those
If CoH2 got more quality SP i'd jump in too
i already did most oc CoH2 SP. I bought C&C to replay the SP.

Well deserved. This is how remasters should be. This is exactly the sort of effort that classic games need.
It does not have Kane.
But you are right. Nostalgia is a strong factor tough.
Are you talking about Company of Heroes 2?
The...7 year old game?
For context, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order peaked at 46.5k (on Steam alone) and went on to become the biggest launch for any of EA's Star Wars games on PC. So, seeing C&C Remastered hit 42.5k on launch day indicates a very strong launch.
It is still receiving both content and balance updates :) Also the best looking RTS to this day.
I am expecting some kind of rally around AoE4.
"Stop playing these old games, play my favorite old game instead!"
Weird flex but okay.
The amount of players in newer RTS games are not enough. Blink and anything from Dawn of War 3 to small indie titles just vanish. Nothing new managed to build enough community for the healthy game. CoH2 is the "newest" RTS that is still popular where you can hit the matchmaking and find the opponents at all levels: from noobs to pros.
If CoH2 falls, the only multiplayer RTS game with the funtional ladder/scene is going to be Starcraft II, almost twice the age of CoH2.
Do you think that it might be the failing of the newer RTS games to engage an active scene and court new players rather than just nostalgia ruling the day? Nostalgia is powerful but not that powerful.
I could never get into CoH. I can see the enhancements it made to the genre but at the end of the day it doesn't let me set up a crazy tank rush and watch a cheesy cinematic play as celebration. Basically I'm not good enough at the genre to appreciate where it went tactically after these early more simplistic games really.
What about Anno 1800 ?
Ancestors Legacy isn't too shabby either
The market is there and always has been. No it won't sell 5 million+ units but an AA Command and Conquer title with realistic expectations could shift units and make a good profit. Unfortunately EA hasn't been in that business for over a decade.
I guess EA is happy to be back on Steam :)
Age of Empires II?
So, the Electronic Arts remaster beats the Blizzard remaster like 3 to 0.
What a world we are in living in!

EA: Makes a good remaster of an old classic
People: buy it
EA, probably
