Keep in mind Frost Giant brags about having no marketing department.
That is also not how you pay off your loans you got from the venture capitalists who want their money back plus rising interest levels plus profit.
WC2 has an active competitive scene. BW is played in Toronto PC Bangs by koreans, filipinos, chinese, japanese and euros. Brood War "exists" in Canada. I can't speak for the rest of the world though. Evidently you can.
I find some of the competitive scenes of games abandoned by publishers and developers to be super fun. Check out the communities around Red Alert 3, C&C 3, EA NHL '94, Super Tecmo Bowl, Fire Pro Wrestling World. Its not hipster... its fun.. and other than Fire Pro its free.
I think its great that these people are having a good time and it costs them $0. This forces EA to make better hockey games.. it forces 2K to make better wrestling games.. and it forces RTS developers to make better RTS games. It forces publishers to offer Free To Play options.
All that matters is how much fun it is... not how old the game is.

It genuinely confuses me how you have such an obviously apparent love for organic, for-fun scenes, that’s obviously genuine and frankly a beautiful thing but you’ll also advocate for the worst corporate practices at the same time
