'are forced to it back and see what we once loved be destryoed.'

Correction of mistakes:

'forced to SIT back and watch what we once loved get destroyed'

I strongly agree that Blizzard and Relic are the last true 'masters' at RTS games, and that CoH was a great game, but RTS should go back to Sup Com 1 scale, with the graphics and in depth story of Blizzard and Relic. If they joined forces they could make some masterpieces, but sadly that wont happen as EA, Activision and Square Enix are everywhere now, buying up as many good developers as possible and forcing them to make crappy games for consoles.

I dont see the logic... WHY make games for 3,4 or 5 year old consoles instead of the much newer and much more powerful PC's (Especially when Alienware are pumping out PC Powerhouses made for gaming at great prices, with all the latest hardware)?

If they focused on PC's first then consoles second, PC gaming will bounce back.

PS this isnt a rant, its a genuine question, i just type a lot of stuff into my posts usually........

Withthe massive disappoitment that is Sup Com 2, do any other PC RTS gamers think we are going through the death of the PC RTS?

I mean, RTS games now are made for the Console's 1st and PC second, which means they are dumbed down, worthless piles of simple pants. Gone is the complexity, gone are the groundbreaking graphics.

The companies that specialised in RTS games have gone bankrupt as they refused to break in the face of the Console menace.

Westwood Studios, founder of the C&C games, went bankrupt,

Cavedog has gone, Lionhead studios is on its last legs,

Gas Powered Games is under the iron fist of the Japanese monster that is Square Enix and other tyrannical publishers, so dont expect a decent game from them again. EVER.

And finally,to round off the all star cast of game-series-that-are-royally-F**KED, there is the Total War series. Now, i think Steam/Valve had a lot to do with this, but Empire Total War was abysmal performance wise, unlike its predecessors . The Gameplay was extremely enjoyable but performance is down the drain. Napoleon:TW isnt much better.

I just wish things would go back to the way they were before, games with the best graphics, build SOLELY for the PC, with Paradox Interactive/Entertainments HUGE depth and the fatastic (and dont forget HUGE) 3D battles of the Original Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance.

I dont know if its 1) the sea of greedy publishers out there 2)the Devs not careing or 3) console are finally taking over (although i think its all the fault of the greedy idiots that dare to call themselves publishers (option 1)) but the RTS genre (or should i call it RTT (real time tactics)) is dying a slow, painful death.

Yet another thing we can blame the mouth-breathing console tards for.....
