What do you mean by "now"? RTS and 4X as terms are basically the same age (92 and 93) and both are older then StarCraft(98). Both of those are subcategories of "strategy games". Also, first strategy video games were not games that anybody would call 4X games so saying that "strategy games" were renamed into 4X is nonsense.
