Young players are not going to play FF14

[Jojoya]

MMO players can't handle the fact that MMOs are now culturally irrelevant and are indeed less relevant than a random mobile game. You're trapped in your bubble and definitely do not talk to the mainstream at all if you believe that.

Or MMO players have grown up enough not to care about what is "culturally relevant" and they aren't interested in the mobile games.

They play what is fun to them, not what social media tries to convince them to play.

I'd agree that most younger adults will have little interest in MMOs these days - unless they grew up playing them side-by-side with their parents, relatives or other friends who were introduced by their own families. They're too used to mobile gaming since mobiles phones are so widespread and easy to get now while mobile phones weren't at the height of MMO popularity. They were starting to get mainstream but weren't quite there yet.

You sound like you're trapped in a bubble of your own.
