So they exist?
RTS as a genre is pretty dead and is unlikely to find mainstream success again. Simply requires too much time investment when compared against newer games.
I think they can try tackling action RPGs next. Bethesda’s been dropping the ball hard.
Isn't some Chinese studio developing a Oblivion remake?
It's a shame would have been interesting to see a Chinese spin on a modern rts game. Sort of light hearted red alert clone.
Probably WW2/Sci-fi. Parallels to our modern world probably will have too many censure landmines to dodge.
I think it is a fan mod?

The number of RTS players didn't decline, it's just the return on investment isn't high enough for Western devs.
The economics changes when a Chinese team on a 10 million USD budget can make an RTS game that sells a million copies.
In the West most none-indy games that sell a million copies is a giant financial failure.
