Silly computer, can we get a fix?

Have you thought about the newcomers?

They thought about you a long time ago. Play the original. No one is forcing you to play anything else.

And complex options that require skill will die out.

Not knowing how it will actually be, to say in advance that "complex tactics will die out" is a bit reckless, don't you think? Perhaps more sophisticated tactics will appear than there were before. Who knows.

In general, even a mediocre programmer can write an adequate algorithm for the strategic behavior of the AI - it won't be more complex than a tactical algorithm.

This is assuming that the programmer knows how to program. You can be a mediocre strategist and not be able to write anything because you lack programming knowledge.

And somehow, no one has written anything in all this time..

And I repeat: no one is forcing you. And there's nothing to force. There is no real subject matter here.
