These games have infinite replay value and people like them. That's all a top ranking game is. Many have tried to replicate these successes and failed (in recent memory, Concord). There have been a huge number of good games coming out too. But they're not somthing you put 2,000 hours into with your friends.
There'a a big element of the snowball effect too. Big games attract more players than small games. Esports are a lot like normal sports in that regard. People make new sports pretty often but Football, Basketball, Baseball etc have been around for 100+ years so they have large communities and social relevance. If I asked my buds to go out for a match of "whipple stick", my new favorite sport, they'd just laugh at me.
On the other hand, new games CAN become huge if they're built well enough. A few of the top 10 were released less than 10 years ago, which says a lot about how these "main games" DO change over time. I think Deadlock will get up there after a few years of polishing.
It's centered around Colemak but of course there is no standard for the extra thumb and pinky keys. I have enter, right shift, and FN on the right thumb, then spacebar, ctrl, and FN2 on the left thumb. FN2 makes the left side into a number pad.
They work the same, Ctrl+P for print. The layout is programmed into the keyboard microcontroller; your computer never gets any information beyond which key you're pressing.
My other keyboard is an Ergodox 76. All mechanical keyboards can have their firmware re-flashed to whatever key organization you want. Then you just move the key labels to the right places (optional)
