General Are modern RTS games becoming too "simplified"?

[quietoffensive]

I've been trying one newer RTS and honestly modern strategy games are becoming too simplified. Everything is now designed so nobody gets confused. Please, where’s the depth again? Old games used to trust players to learn through suffering a little ..Now tutorials hold your hand like a nursery school teacher. One button controls everything. Even factions start feeling identical. Maybe devs fear that the younger players wont have that kind of patience we used to have. To be honest, complexity was part of the fun.

They absolutely are. Struggling was part of the experience. You lost badly, learned something and came back stronger. Now some games explain every tiny thing before you even start. Complexity isn't always bad if it rewards effort. That's what kept many older RTS communities alive for years.
