I think it's just that the numbers have escalated due to everybody trying to be the badass nowadays.

also, hitting your kids now days is not as acceptable in comparison to 20 years ago, so they (we) lack dicipline.

"I'm a Toys 'R' Us Kid" was the line you left out. I'd finish the song but I don't feel like it. Kids nowadays are just a bunch of ruffians and hooligans. What with all these youngsters listening to "Gangster Poetry" and watching violent moving pictures no wonder they are Godless heathans. In my day I wore an onion on my belt--it was the style at the time...

Kids are the same they have always been. People who complain about the downfall of society have too much free time.

The Kids-wanting-to-be-not-kids phenomenon isn't a surprise at all. I'm more surprised by the adult aged children that still adhear to childish ideas such as those stated in the first post by the focus group of children - I'm sorry, *young adults*. It's these "Kidults", not actual youth, that I want to export to France - and their little "mature games", too.

Overall I don't think much has really changed in the industry from twenty years ago, I mean as far as demographics are concerned. As everyone stated before, adults just don't (shouldn't) have time to play as many games as kids.

That's life.

Win the lotto or deal with it.
