I don’t think RTS was even big when RTS was big. SC1 and wc3’s custom map scenes were way bigger.
A lot of the games that killed the RTS genre were even games from that custom map scene.
(That all being said, it didn’t exactly die. Just it didn’t grow the way Moba did)
Exactly! Tower Defence, MOBA, and all the other games built out of the RTS engine in custom maps replaced it, and this all happened years before Zoomers were even walking much less playing advanced video games.
Blaming the RTS genre dying on zoomers would be like blaming them for killing 90s rap, they had nothing to do with it and it’s downright ludicrous to suggest.
fake news from anon. The problem is that we hit the supply cap/population limit/CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS so no more RTS… sad.
Just kidding, forget about all of those, we have Beyond All Reason: a free and open source RTS game set in space. Actively in development, cross-platform and has a unit cap way higher than any of the RTSs from the 2000s.
OpenRA is a open source red alert for anyone interested in a semi active (30 players?) RTS

YOU’RE ABOUT TO LOSE AN ALLY
RTS has been a dead genre since long before Zoomers started buying anything.
In what world is RTS dead? Strategy games in general have been making a huge comeback in the past five years or so. I would aks if this dude (because we all know it’s a dude) lives under a rock, but he’s on 4chan so we know he does.
RTS is pretty dead at the moment. The most popular titles are over a decade old. Anything newly released has failed to gain traction. There’s a couple games in development that are promising, but they aren’t close to releasing.
Strategy in general is pretty popular, but it’s really not the same as rts, which has mostly come to mean shitty mobile games.
RTS died when zoomers were like 5, nerd
True. There’s a picture of me at five years old playing dawn of war
Wow, I didn’t manage to kill a whole genre when I was 5. Some ants maybe, but not a genre.
??? RTS’ require crackhead adhd attention splitting to be good at, not planning and concentration
By their own logic zoomers should be taking to them like fish to water
idk I live in South Korea and Starcraft is still going quite strong.
That’s like saying Burgers are popular in the USA.
4chan; a place where millennials can yell at clouds in peace.
