    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.

      Maybe what we miss is battle.net. It was essentially an endless games playstore and you didn’t need to pay for any game modes. It was gamer paradise and we didn’t even recognize it back then. We live in a gaming dystopia now

        It still exists. And for what it’s worth many of the people I play StarCraft with today are zoomers.
