Self-Ejected
Oh I think it's just as obvious for RTS and the popularity of Dota, and then MOBAs which went even further into alienating the core RTS mechnics to the point that you can't actually "select units" in any of those games besides Dota. From an RTS for those who don't like RTS, to Dota for those who don't like Dota. Step by step you've just murdered the whole RTS genre, devs being full aware (be them right or not about this) that the market has shifted, and that Dawn of War III had to be what it turned out to be.
