Is there some reboot/remaster news that I'm missing out on or is this just a ca$h grab?

just a ca$h grab

The game is available on Steam. Where is the cash grab in this?

It seems that it includes battle tactics and core contingency (or so I am reading in the reviews). I remember it used to be a pain getting the expansions back in the day, so might be useful for someone.

It's already on gog. I already have it from there.

And that makes it a cashgrab?
You are not the center of the universe, some might not want to buy it on GOG.

Repeating this for n-th time: can we ban obvious dumbfucks and thread-derailing idiots like JC from the strategy board at least, is someone moderating these forums?

I downloaded it from a TA site as abandonware. Paying for it after that would be wasted ca$h.

Does this / GoG version even have the Demo Recorder packaged with it?

 

[Icewater]

Screenshots include modded units. What?

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

I don't think original supported FHD resolution

LOL, yeah, I am the idiot. When others are saying that making a game available on several platforms is a cashgrab. Please tell all the devs the codex, that they are greedy tucks for selling their game on several platforms.

I'm not derailing any threads, I am just point out obvious idiocies.

Yeah, screw these russkies. How the fuck did TA end up in their greasy hands?

Does it have to do with when they bought Gas Powered Games? I didn't think they owned any part of their previous IPs at that point but maybe.

They must have purchased the rights from Atari\Infrogames.

I can't even imagine the sheer amount of greed and evil that is required to have the gall to ask for E4,99 for a computer game. Is there no justice in this world? I was one of the first persons on reddit to demand Valve's complete shutdown ASAP when their caching went amiss and I am the first to demand that this gang of criminals is put behind bars.

I couldn't agree more. Well spoken, sir.

Total Annihilation: Kingdoms was one of my favourite RTS in high school, to the point I preferred it over Starcraft/Warcraft 2. I played the regular Total Annihilation after Kingdoms, and was never able to get into it. I'll have to give it another go some day.
