>>727786349RTS games have a lot more that the player needs to do compared to most genres. In an FPS you can just run to the nearest enemy and start shooting. If you die, you usually just respawn for free and it's not a big deal.In an RTS game you have a lot of different things that you need to be doing constantly, managing resource collection, base construction, unit production, unit movement, and unit micro. Just getting to the point where you can start fighting requires a lot of plate spinning, and then if you lose the fight you have to deal with trying to replace the units and structures that you lost.

>>727788213This. In an RTS, every second needs to be maximized, or a noose is tightening around your neck. This can be true of fighters, but since matches aren't 15-25 minutes, nor is it as complicated, it's not nearly as stressful. You can fuck off for a full minute in a shooter, and lose absolutely nothing.
