Comment on I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

Maybe it works if read as “games made by boomers?” … Yeah I have no idea how old anyone was/is. Time and I don’t really get along 🤷
Also, going along with a thing I’ve been seeing in these comments, I’m idly curious as to whether anyone who isn’t a Boomer cares about use/misuse/abuse of the term “Boomer” 🤔

From what I’ve seen, it’s moreso that Boomer Shooters were often developed by Gen Xers and played by Millennials, and both of them despise being lumped with the boomers - hence why they dislike the term. 😅

I guess that makes sense. I’d be upset if critters kept associating me with boomers 😼 I don’t play those so I guess I just haven’t been around the term enough to get a feel for it.
