I beg to differ: look at ANY consumer industry today. Appealing to the Lowest Common Denomintor IS what they must all do in order to achieve financial success.
My suggestion for the publishers would be to start getting as many pictures of half-naked chicks sporting scenario gear on the cover as quickly as possible, INCREASE the number of typos 'cause the kids don't read real English (preferably use text-speak) and generate long-standing controversy by suggesting at some point in every piece that the readers really ought to be playing tourament ball...
(typos not intentional but they help make the point)
