Yesterday I got lots of questions asking âI used to play (X) are there any current generation Boomer Shooters like it?â I wrote this article to answer many of those questions.
I like the name and itâs memorable but I dont believe FPS were intended for âboomersâ, werenât they aimed at Gen X/maybe early millennials who were the young adults/children in these timeframes? Games werenât an adulting pastime back then, it was childâs play.
I bet there were a few boomers playing but Gen X would have been the dominant gaming generation.
I canât believe Gen X have been forgotten again.
@Treevan @blindsight Boomer has now been expanded to be synonymous with âold,â it barely even means âthe baby boomer generationâ anymore in modern Internet parlance.
