Comment on What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?
t3rmit3@beehaw.org 11 months agoStrategy games are never featured outside maybe a grudging nod to StarCraft or Warcraft 3. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a list that mentions a 4X, a sim, or an RTS. The closest you’ll usually see is someone listing Black & White.

I think the actual reason is that they only have a limited presence on consoles, which is what the majority of the English-speaking discourse on games is focused on. The genre also fizzled out in the early 2000s, which doesn’t help.

Even on PC-focused publications like PCG, this same trend holds true.
