very little appeal to casuals

it didn't, halo wars 2 is very much alive

So what happened to him?

SCBW and SC2 are still good

It didnt, its just on hold

kids these days arent into gaming. they're into gay men. i still play Emperor Battle for Dune on the regular

poor profit from them
And no matter how often people around talk about about RTS games, they just don't buy and play them. They want slow burning city-builders, and even with them they get bored. People want slow, stress-free more casual 4x games.
In the end, it's just natural that pure RTS games would die out.

Because no one likes or cares about it except Koreans and people with nostalgia for 90's PC gaming

jealous of his nose

he got cancer and died

SupCom is goat, and Homeworld remastered was great after the patch. Deserts of Kharak was also fun as fuck the best Ground Control game since World in Conflict.

I prefered slower less micro-intensive RTS, like SUPCOM FA, or any one that places an emphasis on map control or base building.

A ton of people enjoy that but the issue is they all tried to be the next starcraft and bricked it hard.

Blizzard fucked off to WoW. Westwood died... the time gap convinced the DotA fans to create their own games. By the time 2010 came around the audience had all moved on. esports was pushed and pushed the casuals out.

Average IQ of gamers (and people in general) is in sharp decline. Our minds are being poisoned by technology.

you mean the, "whoever can tap their hotkeys the fastest" genre?

"If I don't win it's not fun"
Actual quote.

Micromanaging isn't fun and streamlining it away makes for cookie clicker tier "gameplay". It's a fundamentally bad genre.

i like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

Because it's boring

Enlighten me, which recent RTS has tried to recreate Starcraft.

Lots of little kids loved RTS games back in the 90s. My friends and I played the shit out of C&C and AoE1 when we were 11-13 years old, and continued playing RTS games well into our teens (mostly C&C, some AoE2, and a little WC3). We definitely weren't great players but we had a ton of fun playing the campaigns and multiplayer.

Doesn't support controllers. very keyboard and mouse driven. too fast

no waifus

What's with the sudden surge in TBposting? Anniversary since he Let Go?

too competitive and not just a sandbox to play army men

Looking at what we are left with today, he was the best of them. He did and said some stupid shit but he is one of the most tame and smart critics/reporters that this godforsaken industry ever had

Did any one actually like RTS, though? The way you hear people talk about many of them, they only liked the alternate game modes other players made.

Because it only works on PC and PC developers abandoned ship to get that sweet, sweet brainlet money from consoles.
