Only 30 and 40 year olds with nostalgia are going to play it if it's buy to play, why would kids pay for this game when they can play CS, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Valorant etc for free

Why do you want to play with children so bad?

That's why I like playing counterstrike source. The only people left at 35+

No more shit talking, just random condos between rounds on finances and stupid work things. It's kinda nice.

What even is this question? Children are the biggest audience and the target audience for most of the games out there. Especially for multiplayer games.

Edit: I'm wrong

18-34 is the biggest demographic of gamers, making up ~35% of gamers. The various age groups older than that are ~40% of gamers.

Hmm I knew children age group was shrinking but I still thought that they were the biggest one, I guess times change more quickly than I thought...

What even is your complaint? Who the fuck cares if kids don't play it? You're already wrong about them being the target audience; the target audience for 90% of games is adult men, 18-35yo.

Out of all the games you mentioned initially, only one is actually targeted toward a younger audience.

I was wrong. Why are you so aggressive and angry about it? You are acting like if I hit you or stole your money.
