I was just talking with T1Mirage about this the other day: have we become grizzled old gamers? It was in a different context, but the question remains the same -- has the 30+ crowd (hell, the 25+ crowd) passed out of Wizards' scopes? Are we now a demographic they're willing to abandon in pursuit of expanding their market?
IMHO, growing the market would work better by catering to those self-same gamers and getting them gaming WITH their kids, which isn't a tact I've seen Wizards take.
But I digress. Does stuff like Gleemax not resonate with us because we've become grizzled old gamers ... or because it's genuinely lame? I'm betting on the later.
