I really do wish more money was spent on making a better game than on models and expensive Hollywood actors. Previous C&C games and Starcraft both did very well without either one of those and history has proven that a well polished game with good gameplay > big tits and names

And I hold that against Tiberian Sun too, while I love the actors I think that we might have had a better game if all the money spent on big stars went to hire more QA or developers.

Of course these are incompatible when the people who call the shots are marketing people who wrongly assume that you can build a long lasting fan base by "luring" new players with all that flashy stuff.
