so SCRIN aliens of command and conquer.
They didnt really come to enslave so much as was concerned the local wild life on their mining op was still alive and actively fighting each other and the scrin, baited them to building a space teleporter, and then kicked scrin out the planet.
funny thing the franchise planned thier return to earth, but was scrapped by EA being greedy.
And EA went with a very odd alternative.
cnc4, was so wierd and standalone. they thought they could target the asian market with that game, by making a wish .com starcraft. and they tried to money grab with tiberium ALLIANCE for some reason, i actually played and used the "free offers" get currency, eventually it became too hard without actually BUYING into the game so i abandoned it to focus on my classes.
