C&C ist deeply burrowed in my Heart. Tempest Rising ist the closest to that for decades. The OST fits, the Single Player Missions seem to have the wack I crave.
This is one of the most exciting RTS releases of the past decade. It'd be great to see this game on GOG. Tempest Rising is an excellent RTS inspired greatly by Command and Conquer games, especially Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars.

So Tempest Rising on gog only makes sense if they add a LAN Option and has a self build card management. Maybe gog should also wait for a final version including dlc's or all factions.

It would be fantastic if GOG could introduce a pre-order/pledge system for games that developers haven't yet committed to listing on the platform. Imagine GOG approaching developers with data demonstrating significant player interest – "Here's the number of users who have pledged to purchase your game, and here's the amount already collected." This would be a powerful incentive for developers to agree to a GOG listing and guarantee immediate revenue upon release. If a deal can't be reached, or the agreed price is unfavorable, the pledged funds could be refunded to users. This could greatly expand GOG's catalog and benefit both players and developers.
Won't buy on steam. Don't cry about low sales later if it is only on steam, I would love more C&C like games unfortunatly EA destroyed that series. Hopefully no micro tranactions.

Looks interesting and I'd be willing to buy it if it wasn't a Steam exclusive. Simply because even if it is really good, I have no intention of investing in something that has DRM.
