    So “boomer” just means anything that’s older than the person viewing it now? Boy they’ve sure killed off any power that word ever had lol

      Certified zoomer here to explain. This boomer games tag is not about old games. It’s about games that match what a boomer thinks of as an FPS (as viewed probably by a zoomer). The top 3 most popular games are made in 2020, 2023, and 2023.

      Basically if the game play for the game was the style of a pre 2000 shooter it would qualify for the tag. But it could have come out yesterday.

        Boomers didn’t and still don’t think of video games at all unless they’re trying to moralise it and outlaw it.

        Jack Thompson Is the perfect example of a boomer and their relationship with video games.
