Maybe because most of them actually are chill dads! See this one of the top posts by score on r/aoe2 https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/s/X7TgxJetMp

I am a chill dad and I rediscovered aoe2 a few months ago, after being addicted to Age of Mythology. Previously it was Songs of Syx, Foundation, Farthest Frontier... I think we're just a different type of gamers.

I'm not in the scene, but I used to love Age of Mythology - is the AoM scene as big, or as AoE2 become the sort of de facto classic Age of Empires game now?

AoM is not as popular, but I can't give you the numbers. All I know is I'm very good in AoM, and very bad in AoE2. AoE is easy to learn and hard to master, imo. I assume it's the biggest old school strategy franchise with a PvP scene that refuses to die, and it's not driven by hype or marketing.

I think it's possible that starcraft might have a claim here?
