A common mistake in core gamers: thinking the WoW audience is "the broad
market" or "the lowest common denominator." It's not. It's a large market,
certainly, but it's *far* from being anything like mass market.
For the real lowest-common-denominator huge-commercial-success games, see
the examples of the browser-based and SNS games I mentioned earlier. These
are continuing to explode: currently the most popular of these has nearly 50
million active players -- more than *4 times* the number of players that WoW
has.
Is it an MMO? No, not the way we think of it. But who put
MMO-traditionalists in charge? Certainly not the market, any more than it
put hex game designers in charge.
