PC gamers in the mid-to-late 90s apparently started turning up their noses at turn-based strategy games in favour of the new hotness of the Command & Conquers and Warcrafts of the day

A review of X-Com Apocalypse from the time:

"to be honest, the new real-time combat is so good I really can't see why anyone would want to play the much slower (and often infuriating) turn-based tactical game"

That's like preferring Diablo over Fallout

every game should be an online multiplayer FPS after Halo cane out.

There's a :capitalist-laugh: reason for this, though. Online multiplayer greatly pads out the amount of time players spend in the game.

What if every single second they spent in the game was monetised :cap-think:
