Summary

Is the RTS genre dying, or is it on the verge of a real breakthrough? Tim and Al are joined by Perafilozof, one of YouTube's most dedicated RTS content creators, to dig into the state of real-time strategy gaming, what's holding it back, and what could push it forward. They cover the funding problem facing indie RTS developers, the tension between single player and multiplayer, the role of big IPs in reviving the genre, and why the audience's nostalgia might be part of the problem. Peter also shares his watchlist of upcoming RTS titles and gives his opinion on some of the most anticipated games in development.
