Blizzard cut their teeth and grew most of their oldest fans on RTS’s, and now don’t want to make more RTS because the average gamer wants to play an arena game, battle royal or rpg. The RTS market is there, investors just don’t see it because RTS tends to be more niche and players putting in more hours overall compared to more casual friendly genres.
Comment on StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS

I remember those rumors. Yes that would have good. I think though that almost every game rhat comes out is trying to be the next call of duty or the next fortnight. Run n gun arcade style shooter with goofy guns and gadgets and microtransactioned to hell.

To be fair, I reckon a well made SC FPS could be pretty rad if you got to play each species/unit type. Playing as a Zealot or Dark Templar would be awesome.

Sometimes it’s nice to be recklessly optimistic.
