Hate me all you want, these games are trayish.

If an individual I will never meet, who lives halfway across the world is having fun playing a video game in his spare time... I am not going to question his motives. Meh.

It's not about someone else's choice of entertainment. I don't care. But as I said, it's 1 of 2 reasons why we see these heavily derivative games so often. If you like them, play them. But people deserve way more in my opinion. I think it's fine to say it. If I come across as mean here, there's at least passion at the root of it.

All I really want is for us all to play the same game again. If everyone else is playing a RTS and I'm not, then my conception of what makes a great RTS might just be off. But so far people haven't really rallied behind something.

Regarding indie attempts at RTS, I would never bash someone's game that really went for it and tried to bring something new to the table. To me, that is truly mean. But it's different when it feels like a borderline ripoff of a previous title. It feels either cynical or low effort. Not my cup. Don't shoot me.

edit: I did call the games trash, and that was way too harsh. So my bad for that. Not necessary. It's true I should let it lie.
