What if Westwood Studios, a studio that usually is taking credit for creating (or at least estabilishig) an Real Time Strategy Genre, was able to relase a long-developed Command & Conquer sequel a one year earlier? Let's say that Westwood decidied that C&C Engine is outdated already and skipped work on C&C Red Alert: Aftermath and Dune 2000 entirely, so they would have enough time to end thair flahsip product sooner. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is relased in August 1998, five months after his main competitor: Starcraft, and almost a year after Total Annhiliation and Dark Reign: The Future of War. How much battle for the title of "King of the RTS genre" would be different, if Tiberian sun would be relased soon enough?
