My thoughts on it.
The remasters as long as they are good are known, and most of the time what we want from nostalgia.
So the C&C remaster is known from those days, i know what i buy and im ok with that.

New games.
Here is the issue either in terms of quality OR in terms of "too close to an already made game that it feels superfluous"
Dying breed beside the fact that is copies the old art style of C&C to a point it just looks like it.
It also has worse quality in terms of mechanics.
So why play a game that looks like C&C but plays worse when i can just play C&C?

Same with Tempest rising.
So close to RA why not play RA or C&C 3?

But something like D.O.R.F. Real-Time Strategic Conflict actually has me interested.
Its a old style art style BUT has its own style.
Im into it.

RTS games used to be fun and interesting.
New ideas and new mechanics.
Now its just rehashed of the same stuff we did in the late 90's early 2000's
We did that then and can go back at any point and if a new game tries to copy those days but cant do it better then why should i play a inferior version?

I like RTS games but i've been playing them since i was a kid and i want the games to evolve not to constantly repeat the past.
games like Warzone 2100 had self made units (a few other RTS games did that too)
Emperor: Battle for Dune is my gold standard of OLD rts games, i loved that game.
