Maybe I won`t agree with it, but there`s no chance I`ll ever get your point regardless of whether I agree if you don`t ever explain it. As far as I see it when it comes to strategy games it`s actually pretty even. There`s not a whole lot of either and the really big budget big selling games are rare on both sides, but there are still both RTS and TBS games releasing, some of them are even pretty good too. But on the RPG side, I think it`s heavily stacked on the action side. If you see it differently maybe you`d care to explain why?

See you see things as pretty even, I on the other hand do not. I see more clamoring for TBS games than RTS. Yes we've had some RTS games but have they been smash hits, do they have huge followings, have they rocked the genre to the core like the RTS of years past?, no not really. I've played Grey Goo and Planetary Annihilation, both of those ended up going sour and they died down and just went silent over time. SCII has wrapped up it's plot with the only content that comes out for it now being vocal announcer packs like Diva from OW and then there are some co-op partners to buy too, but those hardly count as content like the actual expansions that were the main focus of the sequel.

I dubnno about the RPG side. Yeah we get big shiny blockbuster RPG's, that have some falling short like Fallout 4, Dying Light seems a bit of an odd choice considering the vast majority of it is action based, I never considered the game an RPG all that much. We have Tyranny, Wasteland and Wasteland 2 (upcoming) as some examples of classic RPG's coming out, most that rtevolve around classic turn based combat. We've got quite a few of those over on Steam from scifi to modern erc types like Invisible Inc.

Next year I only have one Iso ARPG to look forward to and that's Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. The devs aren't big or massively AAA, but they are making a high quality looking ARPG. Outside of that game that's all I can really see for Iso ARPG's next year and I've not really hard much for anything else within that specific type of genre. Like I pointed out above, there will be Wasteland 2, Tyranny is already out now, I'm stuck waiting on Wolcen next year, so to me that's already 2-1.

Neither side is entirely equal down the middle. Over time one side waned and the other grew, now we're seeing the opposite. Same with shooters and RPG's, though I'd say we're seeing more RPG's (doesn't have to be specifically classic) on the rise as time goes on. Like I said earlier though, you and me are always going to see things in a different light, just like how JRPGFan will always see differently from me and how you are more in tune with his view than mine for example.
