So no Dominions 4?

I suspect the "older, more world-experienced, more educated, longer attention span, etc" has more to do with the type of game Dominions is than with the price.

There are plenty of younger, naive, poorly educated, easily bored people who have money to burn, or who's parents will buy them games, but they're not likely to be attracted to Dominions anyway. All depth and little flash doesn't draw that kind of crowd. You might have more pick it up on a whim, but they wouldn't stick.

yep, I agree with thejeff. what, crysis or painkiller or even better fifa, costing 50 euros when it comes out makes their community full of old, well-educated gentlemen? Don't think so. Many lil' kids nowadays have parents willing to spend lots of money for their toys (toys=even a Honda motorcycle when they're sixteen), for various (and many of them are plain ridiculous) reasons.

If we are likely to cohabit gently and politely it's not because the game costed a pretty penny that we could affort and the barbarians not ^_^ it's because a slow, intelligent, strategic game isn't likely to attract the bored and aggressive guy out here.

There are of course exceptions, and I agree on the type of game thing. But I also think that older and educated tends to add to the ability to make such a purchase. Not in each case but enough times to affect the averages.
