I'm curious as to how they got their info (not that I doubt it, I'd already figured at least a 3rd of the buyers of GBs before the SP were adults simple due to what I've seen). I mean, adults actually BUY them whether it's for kids or themselves, usually, so what sort of market research do they do to figure out who the product is actually for? Most people I know throw away registration cards. Wait, no, all of them do except me, and that's only when I notice that if I send one in I get something in return. Hmm, what sort of thing could they do to actually find this out? I mean, stores selling games don't even bother storing any info on the age of who bought it. How'd they get that info?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
