Real boomer energy. While graphics improvement flattened out, other things (that are more important) have continued improving.

Off the top of my head.. Zoomers got: Disco Elysium, The Outer Wilds, Undertale, and a million other indies.

Most of these titles don't have mainstream appeal though. The example is true for the majority of players.

I do love me some indie games (probably 95% of what I play atm are Noita and Balatro) but I'll admit it was really cool as a child / teenager / young adult to see the improvements over time.

I mean, millennials also got those

You missed the entire point of the post

What's the point? I thought I got it, and that I agreed, but now I'm not sure anymore.

Top post plays multiple types of games. Bottom posts entire gaming life is spent in one game.

Thanks. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I also like variety.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Its not accurate at all. Sure some people now do only play fornite but people back in the day only played cs or tf2 or wow or runescape or any RTS. The difference is the games now get content updates whereas back in the day these people were playing the exact game over and over for 10 years.

2 of those examples are 6 years old, and the other is turning 10 soon

Zoomers aren't teenagers anymore. Well, some might be; I'm not sure where the cutoff is exactly, but the oldest zoomers might be 30 already.

Though I'd also say that millennials, Xers, and boomers got each of those games, too, if they were interested. Hell, even the silent and greatest generations probably have members that enjoyed those games, though probably not so much for the WW1 generation.

And in the other direction, I've enjoyed games that were popular before I was born, so if gens alpha and beta want to claim them as well, I'd allow it.
