News::Strategy games have entered a new golden age thanks to eSports, Lets Play videos, boring AAA games

Penny Arcade "The past decade hasnt always been great for fans of strategy games. Twenty five years ago they were in their first golden age, but by midway into the 2000s things werent quite as great. The fervor over the RTS genre was stagnating, as StarCraft hibernated and Warcraft became World of Warcraft.

But for a long list of reasons, strategy has come back to the fore in the gaming industry."
