Starcraft 2 is a 16 year old game that's a sequel to a 28 year old game. In my limited exposure that's a crowd of people who know what they like and want to stick to what they know, not a crowd of people looking for new things. Probably one of the most now-marketing-resistant groups you'll find. Marketing in 1998 may have been able to change it, though. ;)
You could also say that BAR is a spiritual successor to a 29 year old game.
The Total Annihilation fans are probably even more marketing resistant than Starcraft fans.

So, in your opinion, Beyond All Reason is getting more new players than Starcraft 2 is?
