Cool, good to know that any new games won't be worth my time

    I hope you're wrong but it definitely is not looking good.

    The remakes are decent, but the franchise never really recovered from the closure of the original developer, Ensemble Studios, by Microsoft in the mid 2000s. Luckily the AoE2 community (and to a lesser extent the AoM community) is still going strong today. AoE2 has had something of a resurgence in the last few years, even.
