For a great many players in a game so young as this, it's all current content.
This is a contradiction to an earlier stated point.
If a "new game" is "always new" to a new player, then the age of the game is irrelevant, because they have not played the content.
Yet, here it is stated that World of Warcraft's usage in the argument is irrelevant because of the game's age.
I'm not really sure what that has to do with the context of the argument anyway, but it's in direct contrast with what was stated before.
We must therefore decide whether a new game is Always New to a new player, or whether the age of the game somehow makes notable impact in the experience of someone who has never played something before.
