Same time of night, same thread, same answer. Insanely high skill ceiling and insanely sweaty tryhards make multiplayer a completely unfun grind. Campaigns way too short to sustain the games.
Why did RTS die?

Exactly this, Any Forums gets hard filtered because they're all storyfags.

>you can get to GM with 60 APM just focusing on macro and not being a retard
maybe as protoss

>Surely it can't be that bad
It's worse
That's true for the entire catalog, at least this is on topic.
Not mentioning Any Forums makes me think you don't know what you're talking about.

We had this thread yesterday but I didnt get any replies;Case i went to sleep, so heres roughly the same copy pasta.
IMO
Lack of ram on consoles; and thus only shit RTS on consoles, is the reason for RTS dying out.
Now the consoles have enough ram for normal RTS games, but the hype behind RTS is pretty much gone. Maybe Microsoft can put some new life into Starcraft?
I can see them making a Gears clone out of the starcraft universe.
Ubisoft style open world as a Marine, on a 1v1 SC2 MP map claimed by zerg, just unlocking stuff as you progress, weapons, attachments and vespene gass extractors.
Abadoned human towns where you free infected humans and keep in a containment area until they are cured
Blowing up a nuke to prevent zerg's underground burrow could alter the landscape(Call it half way through the game progression) and revealing Protoss hidden artifacts and "Stasis" enemies that will fight you
4Player coop.
You all start as Marines, but as you progress through the turtorial you unlock medic(as you witness a lot of damage) pyro as you unlock the first vespen gass extractor.etc.etc
Vechiles be somewhat locked too certian missions such as siege tanks.
Traversel vechiles much more avaiable for getting around the big ass 1v1 map.

APMfags destroyed the desire for slower paced niche RTS games like homeworld. grand strategy is not the same thing
Julian Price
it didn't

>sweaty tryhard
Agreed, those sweaty elitist gatekeepers are so yikes they need to touch grass sister
Not to mention that yucky gross art style all about warfare and testosterone, yikes, I prefer the pic related style much more for our modern age.

BW was the endgame of the genre and it's been on a decline ever since
