To be fair, the RTS genre didn't really go any where. The games that were being made tended to be focused on the pro circuit and most players migrated over to MOBA games. This is what makes Planetary Annihilation so fun to look at, it's an RTS game that could potentially be fun for regular people like you and me who don't like watching Korean's playing Starcraft no matter how much money is wagered (and we've all since learned every match is fixed by organised crime anyway) and don't like getting destroyed online by serious players.

After building up your base you can send troops of to other planets to build up more bases and launch interplanetary nuke strikes and drop robots onto enemy bases, you can even weaponise asteroids and rocket them into enemy planets. The game looks mad fun and the Kickstarter is looking for more money for the next few days which you can see here.
