Good read, I will leave out obvious references to game makers forsaking older gamers and the NGE.

Hehe, my surprise was finding a crowd of 20+ in SWG when I started playing. I usually hanged out with guys in their 40s. Obviously I didn't know til several months later. Most of them were late thirties and early forties.
I thought I would find only 12yo. Most of the gaming & anime clubs in town are formed by teens. So that's why I expected that.

Certainly, there are folks like Barbara St. Hilaire, a 70-year old gaming enthusiast who goes by the nickname "Old Grandma Hardcore" and plays up to 10 hours per day, but the more typical buyer is more likely to only play a few hours per week.[/b]

I'm only 21, and I felt young for the most part in SWG. Though there were extreme difference between age groups just by chatting styles.
