Yeah....no. Actually I cringed at how immature this post wasNot just so with the franchise. MMOs in general have one of the highest average age of players compares to other genres. Part of this is due to the fact that MMOs require more social interaction and teamwork than other genres. Your average teenager would find MMORPGs to be not violent enough, and can't be bothered to work as a team when "teabagging" other players in a FPS is more enjoyable.



Ok I admit the last part wasn't worded with good taste (been awake now for 31 hours straight for work reasons so I'm a little stressed), but on average what I said is true. Teenagers (categorized as ages 12-17) are much less likely to play MMOs versus other game genres.

As you can see, of the participants reported (study was done using 12-17 as the age range), MMOs were only played by 21% of the sample population. On the other hand, MMOs do seem to attract an older crowd, with the largest portion of MMO players falling into the 21-35 year age range.

I know the ages aren't exactly equal so things are going to be skewed a bit (12-17 is only 6 years while 21-35 represents more than double that) and that the data doesn't account for players that enjoy ALL genres, but it does put things into perspective on which markets appeal to which players.

I can't say I've met one teenager with that kind of mindset when it comes to video games, I find that they're put off by the grind and combat system more than anything else.Not just so with the franchise.

Seems like I'm quite a bit younger than most people here, I'll leave it at that. :P
