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.
