Both in terms of less players, and much less QUALITY players.
I dunno about that. I've been GMing for 30 years and there are just as many min/maxers, loot chasers, and "roll-players" now as there ever was. That said, I tend to observe these traits more in younger gamers, where older gamers are more interested in story, character development, exploring the wonders of world, etc. In my experience, quality gamers do exist in the younger crowd; they are just less frequent. Also, keep in mind that your tastes have likely changed over the years too. I certainly know that the campaigns I was running 20 years ago were no where near as well developed as what I run now.
