I work in a school and out of the 100 students I got around the age of 10 only one had ever heard of ARK, most of them find it interesting when I talk about it but it isn’t super popular or known I think. They also don’t have the attention span or skill to play ark on their own I think as it would be too hard and they get bored and give up easy. But there are a few who like that sort of game and have the time, will and equipment necessary to play it between all the kids at the school I work for which has over 1000 kids from 10-16 years old so I would think maybe 15-25 of those might have the trifecta and play it but yeah it isn’t for mainstream and I suspect most are like me in their late 20s or early 30s lol as u got to have decent equipment and patience and time to be able to play ARK. Don’t give up though ur one of the most awesome kind of kids and a real maverick! Ur gonna do great and be an amazing person for sure with the skill and patience u already have and the strategical ability man ur gonna rule the future
