Their 4e strategy and failed and they needed to draw in all the old players.Today it's at least a little weird to do that. Gen X is not some deep market. We're not the people watching actual plays as far as I'm aware. We're a small generation compared to millenials. Our kids are mostly still in college (and many of the older ones are still living at home). We're middle age adults so we don't have a particularly large amount of disposable income that we're willing to spend on games. The 35 and younger crowd was 75% of the market last time I recall they published those numbers.So why are they targeting 45 and up? The D&D cartoon doesn't even hold up! It's a bad 80s commercialized cartoon.</blockquote>
