I grew up in the 80s and would regularly get magazines on the weekly grocery shop with the demo cassette on them. The argument isn’t that videogames only just started to exist and that kids only just started to play them.
It’s not really comparable because there wasn’t the ubiquity or range of compute power there is now. Modern games tend to nestle at the top of it as the parent comment suggests. There is a whole market of people that want to play games that have bad hardware. And my point is that there was a sea change about a decade ago in that respect that the wider industry is only just catching up to.
