StarCraft: exists
Lmao what the fuck is this guy even talking about
Starcraft hasn't been mainstream for over a decade.
Which one? Sc1 is still a mainstream game in Korea played religiously. Sc2 on the other hand is losing players since it didn't hook people the same way (impossible to do, people only have one childhood to waste nostalgia on). That's understandable though since there hasn't been new content for it for a long time.
And then you find out that a premium mount in WoW made more money than the entirety of Wings of Liberty and you kinda understand why they haven't made a new one.
Sure, it's popular in one country, that doesn't mske it mainstream. Fortnite or Minecraft are mainstream games. There's no RTS that's even close to the popularity of those games.
