They died with the RTS boom, it's a better fate than releasing DOTA clones nobody plays and shovelware RTS.

Damn them. Westwood were hit makers in the DOS days. Are there any modern day equivalents to this studio?

No.
RTS is dead, and autistic Koreans are to blame.

>Literally a chink market phone game got ported to PC and released as CnC 4 and with always online DRM for good measure

They couldn't even just close them down and leave it at that. They had to piss on what was left too.

Too bad Emperor: Battle for Dune was written so poorly that it struggles to run "great" on modern OSes, even with workarounds and patches.

Are you familiar with a concept called the ship of theseus? Also called Locke's Socks. The idea is that you find a derlict ship of historical importance, so you repair it and put it in a museum. Over time the ancient wood rots and crumbles, so you replace those parts of the ship. There is a point where every part of the ship has been replaced with new wood, at this point, is it still the same ship?

Same thing happens to development teams.
