The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO (www.pcgamer.com)

TF is crate ent. on about? They've not even made an RTS, let alone one with love and care out into it? They've got an RPG* (grim dawn) and a city builder (farthest frontier) on steam. Neither come anywhere close to what an RTS is supposed to be, and like others have said, Dune (don't know the specific name), C&C, warcraft and StarCraft we're all impressive mainstream games, all RTS.

Haven't read the post, but what if kind of detached world do they live in?

The first sentence says they're working on an RTS currently. Even if they weren't, the CEO is probably allowed to share his opinion on RTS games even if he hasn't made one, just like all of us can. I think what's missing is the qualifier "will never be mainstream across all major continents again"
