I'm surprised at how much of a mixed reaction preteens get on this forum. I get from a practical perspective that they aren't likely to be compatible with large amounts of existing content, and that also cascades a bit in meaning they either won't get more support going forward or will take time away from other things.
Nevertheless, the jump between small child and identical-to-an-adult-teen is extremely glaring to me (though, to be fair, it's a side effect of Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder being more or less identical). I would think the high number of roleplayers/family sim type players on this forum would be more bothered by that. Maybe it's different groups though. * shrug *
