I do appreciate you didn't say ALL, OP, because while I and most of the older players I know didn't start playing MMOs until our late 40s (I've been playing on and off for 15 years), the only way you could get us to watch or listen to Fox News is if you strapped us in a chair and wired our eyes open a la Clockwork Orange (and you wouldn't even have to give us the nausea drugs).

Not OP, but what do you guys play?

We mostly played WoW from vanilla through Legion, also some SWTOR, Aion, LoTR, and Rift. A few are playing ESO now. I thik there was a bout of WHO in there as well.

Eh, not me at least. Blizz killed my willingness to give them my money a while ago.

Can't say I blame you for that lol

I'm just fascinated by the idea of an MMO coming back after 15 years, and the average age of the players being that much older, I wonder how it will affect things

I guess it will depend on how heavily tinted the nostalgia glasses are?

+1, I'm a gamer in my 40s and I think there's a lot of older conservative players because they've got into MMOs through military interests - fandoms with a military or cop basis (SG-1, SGA, NCIS, Blue Bloods, Hawaii 5-0 remake) often have a very conservative group of fans quite separate from what you would expect from fandom. But there's also plenty of us who, like you say, are nauseated at the very thought of Fox News!

The Hawaii 5-0 remake?! Jesus, they must have had heart attacks from all of the Steve/Danny that was pumped out during it's heyday.
