Not the guy you responded to initially, but according to one study the average WoW player's age is 28, and 84% are male. So...yeah, at least a little surprising.
Plus most of the kids abandoned it years ago. It's hardly Fortnite.
Well, WoW also came out in 2004. If you were born the year it came out, you'd be old enough to vote by now. If you were 14 when it came out and started playing that year, then you would be 33 or 34 now. It's an old game designed for a different world. Its player base will continue to age with it. I'd imagine in a few years the average player age will be over 30. Which is incredible, when you think about it. Most adults don't have the time to really dedicate to video games anymore. You have work, family, and social obligations. That so many people that age still play WoW is a testament to its place in their lives. You could say for a lot of people it's not just "a game," it's "their game."
