but it’s not just gen X and older millennials reliving their heyday: younger millennials and gen Z are getting in on the nostalgia too

This is stolen valor smh.

Jokes aside, its interesting that games are the only art medium that implicitly has a "timer" on it. Nobody writes articles if someone is watching a 70s movie or a 30s book. Neither of those things are even called "retro".
