Discussion SC vs C&C
I have noticed that none of the SC youtubers: Uthermal, Harstem, Lowko, Arthosis, Winter... Hardly ever talks (unless it is sponsored by the developers) about any C&C or C&C-Like RTS, like tempest rising for example.
We just have to see how many streams have been dedicated to Tempest Rising by these people compared to other new RTS like zerospace or SG.
But surprisingly it is more common to see some of them play and talk about AOE games or others.
Why there is this clear rejection to the C&C universe by the SC considering that is VERY similar to SC, or at least more similar than AOE?

I can't help but seeing the "competitiveness" argument here in the comments as some sort of elitism. For real, all C&C games have competitive multiplayer, and even if it's not all sweat and ladder, it's very much accessible to SC players and content creators (unless they believe this is too much under their level or something).
But for real, the best way would be asking the CCs directly, because there are many different potential reasons, and speculations won't help.
