[QUOTE="Seeten, post: 2217940, member: 27186"] I bought my families first VCR when I was 16, in 1988. Seems like ages ago now. My kids literally dont believe there was life before VCR's. We have 4 computers in the house. Its insane. You know, I totally agree that I run the country. It seems every product, especially MMORPG, that comes out, is catered to me. They make concessions for me. They make systems for me. They use pricepoints designed for me. I am the demographic they want, and they market to MY taste. I am not a product of market forces, I, and those like me, shape it. Further, I force this to happen by flashing my money at everything I want more of. I will go see every Comic Book movie, because I WANT MORE OF THEM. I saw the D&D movie not because I thought it would be good, but because I support the idea of it. We are in a great position. When I go into Chapters, and I say, why arent you carrying "Races of Eberron" I am not ridiculed, I am catered to. These things are vastly underrated. When I was growing up, Coles(local bookstore) carried like 6 fantasy books, and LOTR. Chapters has walls and walls of it. Its not only popular, its completely mainstream. I dont get funny looks when I ask about it, I get intelligent conversation. Anyone who thinks fantasy gaming isnt mainstream has not been in my corporate job. I work at a huge corporation, and ALL of the managers used to play Everquest, and are currently playing on a RP server on World of Warcraft. I mean seriously. I am the demographic. And so are you.
