SC1 and AOE2, have more streamers and events than 3-5 years ago from my Twitch browsing. Both games that are more than two decades old. Really shows the staying power of the RTS genre IMO, sure it's some nostalgia, but there have been remakes and an upcoming AOE4 sequel too.

AOE2 is not the old AOE2 game though, it's a remaster (the second even) with consistent new content, patches, balance and so on. Yes, mechanics and graphics are mostly the same, but there's a resurgence because the game is maintained/developed, not just because the original was good.
