[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5913646, member: 22779"] Just a point on the age thing. There's a very, very good reason 3e was made for younger gamers. The marketing research capped at 35 years old because it was found that over 35, people's gaming expenditures drop dramatically. The biggest blocks of gamer demographics are high school (where you have lots of free time), college (again, lots of free time) and prison (ditto). The army is also a large demographic for gamers as well. The 35-55 (which I belong ... sigh) demographic has never historically been particularly significant. That might be different now where the 3e aged gamers (say 20 yo to 30 yo in 2000) are now in their mid thirties and early forties. So, it might make sense to court them. But, without any other market research, I really don't know. Going by what was done before though, us 40+ aged gamers are just not buying enough product to make our input all that significant.
