[QUOTE="Envisioner, post: 7973669, member: 6749263"] I never said anything about age. I said "sheltered college students", many of which are 40-year-old women going back to school now that their kids are teenaged. Nice strawman, but your flame will need to be sacreder than that before it can set me alight. There is an incredibly massive gulf between "ceasing to pander to the lowest common denominator" and "ceasing to become commercially viable". Wotco is just being greedy, and they're doing so by betraying their core fanbase in a desperate chase after new blood, much the same as Marvel comics has done by introducing ridiculous SJW characters that nobody wants, gender-flipping all their existing characters, turning every black character into an anti-white racist to pander to BLM, and otherwise taking a big steaming dump all over the people who have been buying their product since the 1990s if not the 1960s. Yes, you eventually need new readers to replace your old diehard fans when they eventually die. But you don't need them [I]within the next three financial quarters[/I]; your boss just tells you that you do, because he really wants to buy a Lamborghini. Short-term greed is the motivating force between all manner of disastrous business decisions; we badly need to restructure the way corporations measure their own success when figuring out how much the CEO is allowed to pay himself. No, I vastly prefer 6E, and wish they'd hurry up and design it already. [/QUOTE]
