    RTS just fell out of favour and isn’t popular as a genre anymore. StarCraft was the only one that endured, and even that was a niche interest. If the genre had any appeal then someone else would have taken up the mantle (as we saw with MobA’s).

    Subscription gaming was going to happen regardless.
