The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO (www.pcgamer.com)

For a moment, I was swapping 4X and RTS in my head, making me absolutely agree that it'll never be mainstream.

Yeah, I don't know enough about RTS games to make a claim, but I'd like to think games like Civilization are well known enough to make them mainstream.

Unless I'm missing something new in later civs, the civilization series is missing the "real tine" part. Unless we're talking about the fact that it takes place during real time periods. Hah.
