How would you bring back RTS games being one of the biggest PC genres again?

actual pathfinding
units that aren't helpless retards that need to be babysat
no needlessly spammy APM shit
actual strategy rather than meta build order stuff
and a decent singleplayer that doesn't have any of those filler hero dungeon missions.

Lol go back in time and stop dota from ever being made thats really your only option

Is this any good or just another pretender to CnC's crown?

I'd bring it back as a mobile game....again. I would ignore any constructive criticism and only add features that people hate. (You) people would still play it and it would generate millions of dollars proving my point that cumsoomer feedback doesn't matter.

You don't know, zoomers grew up with open world slop and team comp games and I'm not even gonna get started on gen alpha. Millennials don't play video games anymore so not profitable.

Must be nice to live in your own fever dream where facts and observable reality don't conflict with "your truth".

not zoomer but I always liked open-worlds (currently not playing games btw).
>find GTA, ignore mission, try cop mechanic and get as many cops as possible
>prefer it when game is semi-open over linear (every bad port of a known franchise is very linear for example)

Impossible, its like fighting games. The audience that generally enjoys these games how they were is just to small for modern AAA studios to care about. They'll insist on filling it with micro transactions and turning it into some casualized slop to try to appeal to a demographic that doesn't exist.

RA3 is better than I remember.

It’s a bad graph with meaningless data.

I think RTS is as popular as it ever was, it's just that the PC market is so much bigger today so RTS's slice of the pie is proportionally smaller.

Its a little different because RTS spawned some of the most popular sub genres of the modern era, mobas are just gimped rts games. There is an arrangement for RTS that could become popular but it requires creative rethinking and removal of elements people find inherently stressful and unappealing, like high APM multi tasking, fighting games underwent a similar transformation with smash bros which solved all the barriers to entry for casual audiences, it just didn't spawn a successful subgenre because it never got any high quality, high budget clones.
