Command And Conquer Series Changes

The blogosphere reaction to Van Caneghem’s words has been severely mixed, with a lot of Command and Conquer fans disliking the notion of a highly social, Facebook-MMO-esque, version of the game.

What’s your reaction to Van Caneghem’s words? What do you think will actually happen?
