Since nobody has figured out how to integrate loot boxes or gambling into RTS yet, other genres are currently much more profitable.

- TulliusCicero 5y agoI'd love to see a competent PvE-oriented RTS with the MMO-lite treatment: co-op missions, entire campaigns, customizable armies, unlockable units, mission rewards, purchasable (with in-game currency) items, bigass raids, the whole shebang. SC2 co-op mode took a big step in that direction, and it was well received and has become fairly popular...but a game built around that as its primary locus could be so much more. I know many more traditional core gamers would practically vomit at this idea, but I think there's room for plenty of different styles under the RTS umbrella. And bringing in tons of money with one style might well benefit the others.
- tobyhinloopen 5y agoIt’s far from what you asked for, but Mindustry is kinda PvE-RTS-like. It’s also open source, i’d recommend to give it a try. It’s an ugly game though, but I do like the concept.
- fxtentacle 5y agoThanks for the interesting tip. I agree it needs polishing, though.
