It may seem odd to some how their marketing works, or their targeting, but its definitely working for them. Or else Sims 4 wouldn't still be around - with more years planned. Money-grabbing as the company is, they will obviously aim for the most profitable target, and right now, it's not the older players (since most of them are not sastified with the game). You may not see this audience around mainly because you're most likely to search for communities where you fit in.
Finally someone gets it, thank you!!! Even if some of the devs care, their bosses don't. And their bosses are in charge of their paychecks. Money is legit all that matters to all of these companies. Only the newbie indie developers are somewhat concerned with appealing to an overarching audience. But that all changes once they get big too. Seen it with my friend's husband who was one of the first developers for Telltale Games (RIP to them)
