One of the first games that I can remember dominating my social life was Starcraft. In the 90's I begged my parents for a computer capable of playing games. It was basically the birthday and Christmas gifts that year plus it had to be the family machine. Kinda lame but none of that mattered. The whole world of PC gaming just opened up and it was beautiful. Duke Nukem, Doom, Myst, and Star Wars TIE Fighter were top on my list as a growing tween edgelord. It's hard to describe to people how cool you felt as a PC gaming nerd, now 30 years on, but it was incredible. Eventually, I moved to Warcraft 2, Age of Empires, and Command and Conquer, what a thrill that was. General, Battle Commander, Emperor! THE POWER! The landscape completely changed when Starcraft came out. I'm not saying it was the genesis of Esports but I will say that there are still diehard Starcraft One players competing almost three decades after its release.
As popular as they were in the past, they are a genre that seems to have its niche and rarely catches on outside of that core base. That's criminal. The RTS genre has produced some of the best games to ever come out.
