Other people with purple names have posted so I feel like I should too.
I still love RA2. I don't play it anymore because there isn't anything worth my time building for. Of course I'm nostalgic for the good old days where I could get home from school, see a new tournament thread for DSL-S or even stock, go look through showcases and figure out what to build, spend hours perfecting something and send it off. I would check the forums every day waiting for updates and be so excited when splashes and brackets were posted.
But I get it. Times changes and people move on. I don't have nearly as much time as I used to and I imagine it's the same story for a lot of my generation.
Should we do something? I don't know tbh. I really hope GTM sticks around at least as an archive of what we have achieved in this game over the years. We can't force people to be active and I don't think we should.
I know at this point I just show up in these rant threads but I kind of enjoy the discussion even if it gets a bit heated. Good to see that people still care enough to at least check up on things now and again.
Now if only Badger had finished whatever that DSL-S tournament was...
