And I'm not talking internationally.How many people who think it can be done are used to parents, coworkers, or other peers having regular league nights for sports or other passtimes? I am. I live in an area where sports leagues are very common and a huge proportion of people participate in them. Curling, softball, volleyball, hockey, bowling. Tons of it. Somehow, people are able to set this time aside. So why not for gaming?And I wonder how many people who can't seem to make this happen (or are not allowed to by spouses) never had many family members doing leagues or other regular activities (or their spouses never etc, etc). It may be because they lived in an area where there was a lot less of that sort of thing going on. Easy participation in sports leagues seems well suited to small to moderate towns/cities with fewer people per bowling alley/sand volleyball pit/etc but enough population density to support said places. It may be because you come from a working culture that brings a lot of work home or has more unpaid overtime because of being salaried professionals (there's a reason that working class joes seem to participate a lot in sports leagues rather than just go to the gym on the way to or from work).But, ultimately, if there are legions of people able to bowl or curl or play softball once or twice a week with stable teams even though they're married with kids and employed, it's not that hard to imagine doing the same with gaming.</blockquote>
