Of course they know, why wouldn't they? They are the makers.

As much as it annoys me for EA to deny TS it's place in storyline technologywise, I must say that those new mammoths look quite damn cool and destructive. GDI never was my favorite side though. But sometimes it's cool to blow up innocent people's homes and that's when I play as GDI.

Actually the video that was mentioned to include a Veinhole monster is indeed in game. Atleast, in Win 95 version, and I would bet it's in original also (I've never played the original). Complete the GDI mission where you have to prevent Nod killing those civilians and Moebius, and you see the video. So it is canon
