The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO - eviltoast
Real-time strategy is a "nerd genre," says the developer, and he's happy to make one on those terms.

    That doesn’t really contradict their premise about making modern RTS. StarCraft and Age of Empires 2 are ancient at this point. An entire generation of kids has grown up since they came out.

    I don’t think the fact that you could make a successful mainstream RTS way back then really says much about whether you could make one in 2024.
