Now first all respect to the little handful of adult players, which EU'ers are, that actually found a use for Xfire, but Xfire users are mostly 15-17 year olds who uses it to brag about they got no real life, "look how many hours i've played" type of counterstrikers, EU EULA say's 18+ years.
Maybe it's time for a roadmap telling us older players what MindArks plan is with EU, first all the avatar changes to look young and smart, now targetting sub18 year olds.
Where is EU going exactly ? |
I have heard it stated many times in the past on the News here that 15-21 year olds tend to be the demographic that has the most disposable income that spends it. A great deal of marketing goes into catering that group of people and most retailers fight a great deal to get their market share of it. I think
EU is no different and might be trying to appeal to that audience more while still retaining who they already have.
The hard part of that is the collective attention span of that group changes rapidly and trying to keep up can bankrupt companies especially if they funnel a lot of cash into an idea that is not adopted.
While I like
EU because of the maturity level many people in higher demographics have less income to spend because of other RL priorities like family and what not.
I can't blame
MA for trying to snag a younger participant base but I am not sure if they will be able to keep them engaged in
EU long term when they have to compete with rl fashions, other new games, and gadgets being updated all the time to cater to people of that age.
