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. |
I was speaking of players in broadest sense possible. If WOW suddenly closed down and 8 million subs had to choose a new MMO to play (assuming they want to continue to play in the genre) they would choose LOTRO or WHO based purely on game design.
