I don't agree with that really. I think the major difference in the WoW and VG audiences is that VG appeals to a small subset of the audience that WoW appeals to. WoW can be just as hardcore as any other game out there, it has elements to support them and indeed they do it. Otherwise the 'premiere' guilds of EQ wouldn't be playing it.
The overall audience that WoW appeals to is obviously much broader, but it also encompasses many of the same people that VG appeals to.
VG shouldn't be fighting to appeal to as many WoW subscribers as it can, it should focus on being more appealing to one particular section of WoW's playerbase.
