D&D 5E New D&D Player Survey!

Please tell me the mechanism by which a company learns the demographics of their customers - this information is not collected at the point of sale.

There are a number of ways to get demographic data from a customer or customer groups. Your online presence and activities (sites you visit, product you purchase, key words that you type, etc. can give data mining companies more information about you than you might think. These company collect and correlate various sources of the data to come up with a "picture" of people like you. They don't need to personally identify you to do this. This is big business, and companies like WoTC can purchase that data.

Demographic data can even be surmised with brick and mortar purchases as well. Especially if you sign up for "membership", for example at Barnes & Noble, or your local gaming store.

To be honest I assume that every company that I so much as look at a product from knows my personal information down to shoe size...

That describes perfectly my reasons for refusing to own a cell phone.

lol, they botched the 5e release date selection. You can only go up to July (month 01-07) instead of up from August (08-12)

Yup, at least Month was optional. I left that blank for that same reason.

I entered July, which in hindsight was correct, because the starter set was available by then...
