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.

wdym lol, AOE2DE has 22k playing right now, which is Diablo 4 tier player count, slightly behind rpgs like Skyrim or Cyberpunk 2077

I miss my RTS topdown style games, I could never get into WCII but like, I agree its a dying genre

Beyond All Reason is building some pretty good momentum. It's more of a TA/Supreme Commander style RTS, so a bit different compared to Warcraft. But it's a modern RTS in active development and growing userbase, which is pretty rare over the past decade.
