What year is it? 2004?

The median WoW player has to be at least 38.

I think there is a new Wow, or one coming.. There have been a bunch of ads about it in the last month

One just came out. It's pretty good, but that's easy to say because Shadowlands set the bar very, very low.

38 year old adults are generally assumed to be of voting age, registered, and willing to vote. Do you think he'll get better voter turnout from something like Roblox or Fortnite?

I realized today that Trump also has a Twitch (because it was recommended to me???) that basically just (re)streams his rallies.

Reported that shit for Hateful Conduct.

Even "better", from what I recall he had what was listed as a permanent suspension after the whole "mildly incited a tiny bit of light insurrection (/s)" thing. They unbanned him specifically for this election season.

Do kids still do WoW? I assumed it'd be all parent aged folks by now

Article on Waltz's gaming history..

You know what just occurred to me, Waltz might actually be on the other tail of WoW players if he picked it up in the early 2000's. He might actually be decent at the game.

It’s not like they want to pander to 14 year olds, who historically have pretty low turnout
