It is the Dark Side of the Moon of PC games. The game is still in the Top 20 in Sept NDP. It is still on the shelves of every store I go to. Even my Walmart which only has like 15 PC games.
Diablo 2 is the closest thing, and it has been out 9 years... but Starcraft has been out for what, 11 years. Amazing. I still remember when it came out, I was in like Jr High or Maybe early HS.......
Think about it... Starcraft came out within 6 months of when GOLDENEYE did.... And Goldeye is like a museum piece now.
