I imagine the young cohort you are describing that graduates from high school or whatever and then never buys another pack does exist.But completely anecdotally, I know maybe 40 or so players my age (also 40 or so) who have been in and out of the game for decades. We go through periods of buying a few packs here and there to crack, periods of buying a box or two every time a new set comes out and keeping a deck or four up to date in our format of choice, and periods of not buying anything before starting the cycle again. In my FLGS, we tend to outnumber the kids who are picking up the game for the first time.I think Magic is a bit closer to video games than action figures (not that I aged out of that either, see my Warhammer collection...) in that there are lots of adults who play as well, or at least dip a toe in now and then when they are feeling nostalgic, and WotC's pattern of heavily servicing people in my age demographic with their nostalgic crossover sets from 80's and 90's IPs seems to reinforce that there is a lot of money in that consumer category for them to chase after.</blockquote>
