Huh, what do you mean? Will Wright was born in 1960, so he amounts to a “boomer” as the term is used these days, as do most of the great game designers and programmers of the 90s, who obviously couldn’t have been “digital natives”. But one can become fluent, even an expert, in a non-native language… most people just never do! FWIW, the idea of digital natives is problematic for other reasons, primarily the fact that it’s being applied to today’s kids who mostly are not any sort of native experts in general computing. If any generation is worthy of the term, it’s the millennials/Xennials who were there in the era when the use of personal computers involved more than just endlessly scrolling TikTok.
