Almost every RTS back in the day came with multiplayer once multiplayer became a thing. The top, actually successful MP games all had very enjoyable campaigns. There has hardly even been an original RTS game that actually attempted to be MP-focused to the exclusion of SP. The most common thing that RTS games do, when they're not trying to be "spiritual successors" (and even when they are) is to simplify, streamline, make more accessible.There are players, I count myself among them, who don't care about single player. For us, there are so many disappointments, from the many cool concept RTS games that simply don't come with MP, to the ones that do have MP but don't have enough to sustain consistent matchmaking, to the ones that gut the gameplay depth. I see a game like Dinolords. I love the concept. There is no multiplayer. I stop thinking about Dinolords. Simple as that. I don't think of those evil single player fans siphoning away cool concepts away from multiplayer enjoyers any more than I think of the evils of MOBA or FPS players. People in here act like the multiplayer gang fucked their girl.

>>746074630I'm just here to say RTS in the form it evolved from, is just a garbage genre all around, and the less games there are in it period, the more gaming has healed.
>>746074630I have no strong feelings one way or the other regarding multiplayer in RTS games.

No worries
Games are getting more expensive to makeMultiplayer costs money to developMultiplayer is only played by a small fraction of a games audienceThus, a lot of people view multiplayer as a waste of time in the big 2026.I myself prefer co-op to competitive MP, as MP requires too much balance and will eventually die no matter how 'fun' it is. Whereas a 2-4 player coop game, you can wrangle at least one person to play with.

>>746078361All of the top 10 steam games that aren't idle/background programs are either MP exclusive or MP focused, you tard. "Small fraction" my ass.
>>746074630Because it was campaign, coop and pvpThen devs ditched campaignthen they ditched coopthen all was left was stupid fucking minmax esport garbage
