Who are [adult swim]'s games really for?

What is the target demogrpahic of [adult swim]'s games?

 

It certainly isn't the same 18-35 target as the actual television channel, that's for sure.

 

This new iPad game makes me question if these are games an "adult" channel's website should have.

A game with a snot theme? Really?

Maybe if this was in the regular Cartoon Network ap store, alright.

But for [adult swim]?

 

Monsters Ate My Condo

Bring Me Sandwiches

 

The most mature, if you could even call it that, of this newest generation of iPad-only games is Major Mayhem, and that's not really mature in the least.

 

While these games might be fun, and I'll never know since I don't have an iPad, is it really [adult swim]?

 

In general, the whole of [as] seems less adult every year as they fill more and more of the schedule with FOX syndications, but it just feels like the Games part of [as] is reaching further into the middleschool/highschool (or younger) demographic than any other part of [as].

 

As a long time viewer and fan of [as], having watched it since the beginning, I'm feeling like it's a watered-down representation of what [adult swim] should be.

What happened to the age of "all kids out of the pool"?

Or has that finally gone the way of Cartoon Network's promise to show just cartoons?

Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy.

That can be said about ALL games ever made in the history of mankind.

Games are ALWAYS for bored people or gamblers, there's really no other reason to play games.
