>>49052638You're in a franchise driven by them son, you want agency, fuck off to star wars, where the fat sweaty neckbeards hold count and are king. Kids rule this shithole, always have. It's why Game Freak ignore what adults say (remember that TPCi interview where the publicity officer said "they hear you, they do their own thing anyway"?) to focus on keeping kids in-brand once they're exposed (and seeing how upset you get over the thing, it's clear it works).
But that's the crux of the issue - you WERE the target audience once upon a time and assumed you were ALWAYS going to be the target audience.
