As much as I'd love to see it happen, I think that Zero-K will remain as a low popular game for the following reasons:

- poor servers condition not suitable for higher player loads running on windows laptops in Licho's fridge - there are some very confusing workarounds in place to keep things running like not showing the player list/players inside the rooms. The general player list and room insides is not a scalable solution anyways and would need to be rethinked.

- RTS genre is not popular and many prefer alternatives as RTS games require lots of skills to get good at, are deep in strategy and are demanding (time, dexterity etc.)

- optimization, antique Spring engine with its single-core performance. My colleagues liked the game but didn't have PCs strong enough to play it online - in lobster pots and gave up on it. One would think that antique game would require antique requirements to run.

- open source games do not have the money to pay for necessary things like artists work or story writers for campaigns or marketing to kickstart the multiplayer matchmaker with player base. While there were initiatives to make open-source story (see "Worm" novel, or "Doki doki literature club" [not sure with this one] for example) - these are rarely successful.

I
have
one
more
issue
with
Z-k
-
while
when
you're
inside
the
game
it
feels
great
to
spectate,
when
looking
from
other
perspective
I
feel
that
everything
that
happens
is
very
sluggish/unimpressive
in
comparison
to
say
Starcraft
2,
so
it's
not
a
good
"sport"
to
promote
watching
at
twitch.
The
fact
that
to
play
optimal
you
often
have
to
max
zoom-out
and
play
with
icons
does
not
help
with
that.
