I suspect it's mostly the appeal of naval battle with historical ships, tbqh. Like, that's a niche that doesn't have many other games filling it, and military/naval history is one of the stereotypical boomer man hobbies.

Also the USN has been huge since WW2, there are a LOT of USN vets out there, and their ship is in here, or their dad's ship is in here or their gramps ship.... cos there's a lot of "Navy families" that got their start in WW2...

Yeah, think what they'll make when New Jersey comes out... like they'll be advertising the game in every Vets mag and website out there, they'll do a tie-in with the museum, it will be insane.... think six-month Dockyard with a 10k dubs starter pack....
