RTSs should not be MMOs - according to Tank

Rts games should never be mmos. I tired of all this online bull. I don't like to play games most of the time with other people. I liked games were it is just me.

It is the only thing that relaxes me.
 
my view exactly, people look at that other game then go, "hmm... lot of cash there"

then things go pear shaped.
 
+1 for single-player RTS. I like to play with my own strategy and follow a storyline in a campaign rather than deal with the unpredictable masses.

That is why I love old rts and total war games. I like my own pace and just love to try new things but multilayer people kinda take it to serious which spoils it for me.
 
I disagree for the reason that we should never say never. Just because MMORTS might have been done 'badly' in the past, doesn't mean that there might be that one developer that actually gets it right and sets the bar for a "MMORTS" genre.

Why limit our genres in such a way?

EDIT: One thing the author touches on is "balance", well TBH "balance" gets fixed much quicker in MMO's like WoW than any other genre. No need to wait for the next patch, since the devs release the fixes server side. Online will also have a monitoring platform and dashboards for the devs to monitor every strategy players use. This will help the devs with fine-tuning balance faster. You won't get that in an offline environment.

Not every one wants to play mmo's dude. I don't really want to play with a bunch of other people.
 
Blizzard released the best MMORPG ever, though there are still tons of single player RPGs, like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Gothic etc etc. Just because one developer decided to make a MMORTS, doesn't necessarily mean that EVERY developer will make a MMORTS.

MMORPG and RPG are 2 different genres. Why can't it be the same for RTS?

So I ask again : Why should we limit our genres? If we thought like that, we be stuck playing pong.
