[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8987534, member: 23751"] That's not really what I've been saying. Folks have been arguing that the game isn't being aimed at the older folks and is/should be aimed at the teenagers. I'm arguing that it shouldn't be aimed at either group, but should take both groups into consideration, especially since the folks older than teenagers have the most money and 60% of gamers are 25+, 45% are 30+. Again, I'm not arguing that it should be "for older gamers." It just shouldn't be "For the young gamers." This isn't really true, or at least not to the extent that the older gamers shouldn't be taken into consideration. At this time 45% of gamers are 30+ 26% are 35+. A very large portion of existing gamers are those who have not aged out of the hobby and still play. They should not be ignored by aiming the game at the teenagers who are only 25% of the existing players. [ATTACH type="full"]281446[/ATTACH] As has been noted before in the thread, young folks(who are a minority of D&D players) eventually age into the older brackets. If you are ignoring the older brackets who make up the largest percentage of your players to court a minority of future players, you are ignoring the majority of the money out there. Neither group should be ignored or courted exclusively. Both young and old should be courted significantly in a compromise system that does the best that it can to make both groups happy. [/QUOTE]
