How old are you?

[Don Esteban]

Hypothesis: maybe it's an influential factor that the game is a "bargain bin"? Namely, most of the younger (l5-20) people might have moved to "prettier" games (such as MTW2) whereas at older ages comes a reluctance to abandon the "Old Faithful" for eyecandy?

I think it has more to do with the fact that to an "older" player such as myself prefer longer more strategic games to arcady ones (and to my mind RTW and M2TW are exactly that, a dumbed down version of MTW).

Maybe I'm being harsh on the other games but they just don't compare
IMHO
