The Real-Time Strategy (RTS) genre, once dominant in PC gaming, is now considered niche and at risk of disappearing. RTS games like Command & Conquer, StarCraft, and Age of Empires defined PC gaming in the 90s and early 2000s.

Despite the challenges, dedicated developers and publishers are keeping the genre alive with titles like Age of Empires IV and independent releases, suggesting a potential future as a smaller, dedicated niche.
