*sigh* sad but true
I just read an article today re. WoW basically praising bizzard for having come up with this golden eggs goose. So yeah, FTBS is dead. Long live the new king - pay by the month/hour/minute MMORPG.
I guess I'll be playing more dominions for the years to come, hope the player base would remain

TBS is still going strong, if not necessarily FTBS in particular. Look at Battle for Wesnoth, its not immensly deep by any stretch of the imagination, but for freeware it is incredibly impressive. It generated fairly massive interest as well. Civilization is still going strong, Elemental: War of Magic came out, and while they might not all be good, it shows that interest remains. An occasional gem gets spit out, just like every other medium and every genre within every medium.
