[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8980105, member: 18"] So 40+ then? So you're essentially doing a "stolen valour" when talking about being 35+, let alone 25+. I guess it's "technically correct, the best kind of correct" lol. Also, you think people in their 20s are "making decent money", what planet are you living on? People in their 20s are relatively poorer than they have been for decades, due to the incredible issues with housing costs (both renting and buying), energy costs, and food costs - and even if we ignore the latter two as being more recent, people in their 20s now do not have the significant disposable income that people in their 20s had when you were in your 20s. Hundred+ dollars per month - and that's actually about average for the US - last actual [I]survey[/I] I saw (as opposed to guidance on what kids "should" get) said the average as $30/week - though I imagine that's probably quite unevenly split between high-income and low-income families. Kids don't generally pay for themselves at amusement parks (esp. as they can't even get to them by themselves until they can drive), and they don't buy a lot of board games (that's usually parents buying for them) so those are weird to include. And I don't really agree that "kids like to do lots of different things" any more than adults do. Some kids and some adults have really diverse interests, others don't. I think that's a non-point. Because people in those age brackets tend to want different things out of D&D/WotC, not identical things, which is, I suspect, the whole reason we're even talking about targeting older gamers.
