If online play is your jam then there is always https://cncnet.org/ It shows there are 493 people playing Yuri’s Revenge as I type this.
Not all the games are free to play. Some of them require you to copy some files from a paid version. So this sale is still relevant. Check out the FAQ at the url above.
My brother and I started playing Mental Omega instead. It’s a rewrite based off Yuri. It has new units, structures, abilities, and AI/balancing tweaks.

Unlike RA2 you can no longer just deploy 100 GI’s and mow down everything that comes at them. That never really made sense when a tank rolls by. In Mental Omega the tank will kill them all. Cause they’re just guys with rifles against a heavy armor tank…
Yuri’s Revenge had dolphins with laser beams strapped to them as a commandable unit and you’re worried about the logistics of small arms destroying a tank?
There are community projects that make those games run like a charm on modern systems. Tiberian sun and red alert 2 run perfectly on my steam deck. Check out pcgamningwiki
They are all marked as Singleplayer. Is that just a mistake or did they strip out any multiplayer functionality?
Also: will this require Origin?
Seeing as a fair chunk of those games used IPX and GameSpy I am not shocked by the lack of multiplayer.

Caved and got the bundle.
I installed Red Alert 2, it doesn’t need Origin. But at least on my Linux install the main menu is just a black screen. :(

Thanks. Didn’t bother to go look for it myself, as it is already well past midnight over here. But I’ll check it out after some sleep.
Store page does not list Origin as a dependency, but I can’t know for certain
