Average age?

[holdem]

I've seen a few streams now and my impression this games main target is children between 10 and 15.
No blood or gore, talking squirrels with mushroom hats , power ranger outfits ect ect.
Your thoughts?

Yes of course lol, the game is 16+ mostly due to the "casualization" (sped up) of the gameplay loop, which aims less at 30+ gamers of the mmorpg market that used to occasionaly show up for monster hunters grind to a more open audience that wants a quick gratification.

The story is a bit clashing with my opinion as it's slower paced on several segments as seen by the complains

You're not wrong, the average gamer age is probably around there too.

There's blood every time my arrows pierce a target and you can sever tails. Is that not gore?

Three-quarters of video game players are over 18 in North America. Just because there are more adults than kids in most places. Median age of gamers is 35, so half are older, half are younger. There's no reason to expect the Monster Hunter demographics differ significantly from this. So, there's your answer. About 25% are under 18, ~25% are 18-35, ~50% are 35 and older. Regardless of who spends the most time online watching/commenting.

On Steam, these numbers are a little lower for under-18, a little more for 18-39. So PC players are about 10% under-18, 65% 18-40, ~25% 40 and older.

Players 25 years and older spend less than half as much time playing as players age 15-25 (3.5 hours/week average, vs 10+ hours/week average). So a rough estimate of how many are *online* at any given time could be about 50% 15-25, and 50% all other ages, with the majority of that half 25-40 years old. [Source for all: Statista]

Given this, its very unlikely that the majority of players are between 10 and 15 years old. They may just be the most vocal in the streams you chose to watch. It is possible that the majority of players, by hours played, are teens through early-20s, however.

Whether those story themes are designed to resonate more with youth or not, I think every age finds some element to resonate with. So, while parts of the game might be designed to increase appeal to young gamers, others will find different elements to be the main appeal.
