I don't think anyone is upset that the game isnt aimed at them. but there are issues like the fact that sites like Massively that have a completely (i would assume from the comments and other coverage) different target demographic treat it like us older Jaded gamers should love this game.. That is where you get the posts saying how stupid it is from. It is clearly a kids game and many people are covering, talking about it and reviewing it as if it was meant for adults which is ridiculous i.e. Shut Up. We're Talking.

Personally as far as my early gaming experiences. As a jaded old gamer myself I can easily say that at the game that FR is targeted to i was sitting around a table with graph paper, dice, chips and soda having a good time learning to use my imagination and collaborating with other people and share in a single creation within the groups mind. FR has no where near the benefit for intellectual, personal and social development that I had. Also it is no where near the same experience that older mmos have brought that share in may of the unique PnP aspects of world and community creation. In other words the Game is nothing but vapid fluff to rot kids brains.. more so than most mmo titles on the market that at least teach team work and that effort and hard work will produce rewards. So yes i am an old jaded gamer and think FR is crap on that level.
