RTS died because it's not fun to play them on consoles and no big dev is going to release games only on PC now. Since XBOX is the one that forced computer games to be released on console, it's obvious that the golden age of RTS is few years before Xbox was released.

I was more of a StarCraft and AoE person myself. Starcraft on console IS garbage. It didn't take much of a PC to play either of those games thankfully.

League of Legends seems to be doing okay. A few people like it. In that case, why not a proper RTS?

It was the hotness in those days. All computers pretty much had them installed. I remember going to internet/LAN cafes which had RTS networked to play. It is one of those standout genres that worked best on PC. Maybe these days more cross-platform development took that focus away from a PC centric game development

I remember Microsoft had Ensemble Studios which did RTS. MS was the publisher of games like Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, etc. They were part of that 90s RTS movement. They did release the Halo Wars games which are RTS as well.

are MOBAs really considered RTS? i know DotA was a WC3 mod but i associate them more with games like Diablo

They're not the same. MOBA originated as Warcraft 3 mod with different gameplay than that of RTS.

for better or worse, people want to play as their characters these days

I liked RTS games until it evolved into nothing but "how fast can you click the mouse button". The shitty esport mentality ruined pvp for me.

I only had a demo for AoE 2, as a kid for a long time, I used to play that same mission almost every day until I got the complete version. AoE 2 is my favorite RTS because of that.

I prided myself on fast protoss turtling and it was hard to go fast without hot keys and higher dpi.
