Gravelord is an Early Access boomer shooter from Fatbot Games, creators of the dungeon crawler series Vaporum, and the latest update makes it more accessible with it now Steam Deck Verified thanks to the addition of controller support.
It’s a phrase coined very recently based on a misconception, and happened to be picked up by some online publishers. That’s all.
Saying “its an actual term” [sic] just attempts to give it an air of legitimacy, without actually meaning anything.
The phrase itself is not only ignorant, but also insulting. The gamers it refers to are not Baby Boomers, but Generation X, which had nothing to do with the damage to society that Boomers are famous for and most of us in younger generations are suffering from now. (Housing crisis and out-of-touch legislators, for example.)
