Well, this is the inevitable downward spiral - C&C becomes a money-grabbing shallow farmville clone.

Meh, EA isn't so much jumping the shark lately as strawberry floating it for money.

Still not as ridiculous as the iOS Theme Park freemium game. £60 for one rollercoaster?

No.

It looks bad, certainly. It looks like the strategy and a fair bit of the "real time" has been ripped out of the game. Considering Command & Conquer games are Real Time Strategy games, that's going to be a problem.
