Serious, genuine question:

Has a team of, or single Zoomer game dev(s) ... made... any... game?

I am not gonna pretend that I somehow know all games and all game dev teams by age, but uh...

Yeah, are there any notable games made by a team that is majority composed of people born after '96 ish?

Like... I am a millenial, and I am well aware of the ludicrous greed and mismanagement of AAA studios, how even most AA studios end up getting fucked by some kind of IP rights/funding issue, if they live long enough... I'm still pissed that EA killed Maxis... and I am also well aware of many games with primarily millenial dev teams... very often devolve into, or revolve around 'millenial speak' / 'millenial writing' ...

Most of us millenials, outside of the tiny number of mod teams that actually stuck together long enough to form a game studio, or just outright form an indie dev studio... yeah most of us just jumped into the megacorp game dev meat grinder and then acted both entitled and surprised to find out that 'corporation bad, actually.'..

But I seriously cannot think of a mainly zoomer game dev team that's made anything other than pretty much shitty asset flips and/or outright scams, enternal alpha/early access type bullshit.... or maybe mobile, gacha type games?

I would love to be informed that I am an idiot and there are some really good zoomer made games, but I am ignorant of their existence.

Hell, even a seriously good mod by zoomers would count, I know I was modding many games before I even got out of highschool.

Gen X is running those companies, they're the ones to blame for this shit.

I get the joke but I never understood the idea that gaming nowadays is “bad”. Just as there are many games that have shitty practices or are just bad, there are just as many that are good. Indie gaming is booming for a reason.

Sometimes I wonder that if the people that keep parroting this idea are just… Getting old? Getting fed up with gaming? Or maybe it’s just a nostalgia thing? All of these combined?

Anyway, Clair Obscure just came out and it’s a great JRPG, highly recommend it
