DICE What are you doing to Battlefield
This is it, I'm out. I tried to hold on but this is not Battlefield and I'm sick of pretending it is. To whoever enjoys it, enjoy. Enjoy playing this game that used to stand out from the rest but no...

No they don't. I'm middle-aged and it's still the go-to hobby for me and a lot of people I know of a similar age.
The idea that gaming is a youth market is old hat. The average age of a gamer has been steadily skewing upwards since the 90s as that first console/PC generation ages.
Plus the older part of the market is the part with the most disposable income to shovel EAs way.
Here's one of many articles pointing that out:

"The average gamer is 34 years old, owns a house, and has children"
@FatherDedOh come on now.
The age is shifting for sure but kids will always have more time/will for gaming. And sure they do not have disposable income but they have parents. Plus kids are not as nearly as critical when it comes to the quality.
I mean, if it's not EA shifting to younger and larger playerbase, then what is it? And by younger I do not mean neccessarily younger then we were back then but younger then us now. When we were 15 for sure we wouldn't like tanks with flowers, but new 15 yo's are well, new. Times are changing.

EVERYONE is younger than I am now.
