Hey guys, I looked at the existing threads but could not find similar one (or I missed). Anyway, does any of you know that GOG would ever sell CnC Red Alert series (including Mac)? Maybe some of you know who work at gog.com (: or the people who work at gog.com read these threads, too. Would you guys want to see this series in here as well or am I the only one who really wants this to happen?
It would be great to see Command And Conquer here (not just Red Alert). But I can't see it happening I'm afraid.

You looked in the wrong place. :)

With regards to "Would GOG sell them?": of course. They're widely considered classics, and are exactly the kind of games (from exactly the era) that everyone expects GOG to release. But the ball is in EA's court. GOG can't release anything that the rights-holders won't allow. (It might also be complicated by the fact that EA made the first RA game free several years ago.)
ea games sells cnc through their own platform, but it's overpriced for a 20 year old game
That's a complicated question.

A lot of the games in the collection don't even work anymore on the latest version of windows from what I tested. support was like we can give you a refund on a 4 year old purchase and I was like ok I guess lol.

But they need to get on that remastered train with those games and do an HD upgrade like starcraft did. at least that would be good...

There are plenty of patches that fix these issues. I'm playing them now.
I'd buy Generals + Zero Hour for $5 USD but EA wants to sell bundles. Stupid stupid stupid. Not going to touch it.

I bought the entire collection for less than £4 recently. Seemed like a good price if you ask me. No point paying that much for below average Generals if you can get all the good games with it.
I hope at some point someone they will realize that there is still some profit to be made by releasing these games here, which would not be made any other way. I understand why publishers keep their flag ships on their own platforms (the same for e.g. Diablo, Starcraft), but there will be always a group of people (including me), who will not buy these games elsewhere and if they want to earn something, they need to come here.

Official or un? might just try it out, problem is I run a machine that is way ahead of it's time so compatibility is a little problem.
Of course everybody here would love that. Ask EA how they feel about it. I'm sure they would be willing and extremely cooperative :).

EDIT:
Try hunting down The First Decade. I have it and that's all I need.
