As one of the people who was 12-15 when ts4 released and is still on the younger end of things, I don't appreciate the games direction. Having this based on age is kind of flimsy. I still have to pay the money for new content like everyone else I still have an interest in getting more content per pack. Plus the Sims lasts a while so the audience moves on when it tries to hard to always aim younger.
If making games for "older" audiences means getting more depth, I first find that a little insulting (I like to think I'm smart, don't ruin it for me), and second as a "younger person" I prefer games made for "older people". I honestly do hope that nobody thinks all young people like ts4. I'm sure many do but I know many that don't just like I know many older people who are fine with it.
I personally think what one thinks of this marketing scheme, and ts4 in general, comes down to world view, which is shaped by age, but is also impacted by tons of other things. (Location, income, social groups, other hobbies, how one was raised etc.)
I also would like to say, one of the most annoying things a company, or any individual, can do imo is group all "young people" together and then try to market to us based on some popular trend or somthing. It also doesn't work well, when you go trendy your game is often dated with in two years I find.
That's just my thoughts since everyone has suddenly brought up the age thing. Which by the way is kind of weird to read, it's like everyone is talking about you while your sitting in the room. :D :D :)
Although I might be dubbed old by society or something, cause I don't feel like I fit anything anyone has said about younger people. Except having to watch my money carefully, my cat is rather prone to eating paper :expressionless: plum thing.
Bejawa - you are indeed very mature for your age. As with all young people - you are our future and I'd say in your hands the future looks bright indeed. Your posts are always filled with maturity and much insight. Keep on, keeping on.
And you are talented as well - your cat avatar looks very much like my beloved beautiful Mainecoon Maximillion I lost 2 years ago.
