I mean … Warcraft Orcs & Humans came out before c&c
Warcraft, especially the first one, was quite archiac compared to C&C.
Command & Conquer released 2 months before Warcraft 2.
Dune was the
genesisof the RTS and while command and conquer was fun it ultimately lost out to Warcraft / StarCraftNo one is arguing which game came out first. I didn’t say C&C was the first game.
