Technically, they’re all millennial shooters, because the entire genre was only invented in the 90s and mostly played by teenagers.
In fact, boomers started a whole episode of “satanic panic” about them after it turned out that the Columbine shooters loved to play DOOM.
The first millenials were born in 1981, so yes, they were definitely teenagers by that point.
Isn't it 82? Whole reason they're called millennials is because they graduated high school in the "new millennium". 81 would have graduated in 99.
Nah dude. I'm a millennial, born in 80s. I was a teen in the 90s.
Gen x was in their 20s. They were the ones making these games, for the most part.
John Carmack, one of the programmers of Doom, was 23 when Doom was released. (Born 1970)
Just pitching in some additional info about who was making theses games.
Yeah, he's right in Gen x.
