'''''Command & Conquer''''' ('''''C&C''''') is a [[real-time strategy]] (RTS) [[video game]] [[media franchise|franchise]] created and originally developed by [[Westwood Studios]] and currently owned by [[Electronic Arts]]. The first game was one of the earliest of the RTS genre, itself based on Westwood Studios' influential strategy game ''[[Dune II]]'' and introducing trademarks followed in the rest of the series. This includes [[full-motion video]] [[cutscene]]s with an [[ensemble cast]] to progress the story, as opposed to digitally in-game [[Real-time computer graphics|rendered]] cutscenes. Westwood Studios was purchased by Electronic Arts in 1998 and closed down in 2003. The studio and some of its members were absorbed into [[EA Los Angeles]], which continued development on the series.
