I don't think it will be too many more years before the game companies relize that about half the world is being alienated by there games and start making unisexual games.
I mean DOA beach Vollyball.... heh who was that made for I wonder.
I think the real problem is some people think 15 dollars a month is a lot to play casually. I think plenty of people pay time on those cames and just play once in a while
I know plenty of people who not only played a few hours a week but they paid 30 dollars a month so that they would have a second account for a healer. When asked why would you spend so much money they usually reply it cost more to take the wife and kids out to a movie.
Really think about it though, bringing a girl out on a date. Two tickets 16-20 dollars, popcorn and drinks, another 15 dollars. That is for 2-3 hours of entertainment.
MMORPGs are nice though cause the only people who can really play them are people 16+ and in most cases 18+. Because of money issues. So you get a somewhat more mature audience of people.
The language changes over the years. Go back to the 1700s and talk to a english speaker. They would look at you like you had two heads.
I think people can communicate effectivly without having to worry about spelling every word correctly and using perfect grammer. After all most people on the web can understand leet speak. So why would anyone have trouble understanding "Should of" instead of "Should have"

Its harder to find someone hiding in the mountians than it is to trace an IP and ask the ISP where the person lives.
