I am sure many are. Millenials are in their forties these days

[–] known_unknown@lemmy.world 72 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The average age of a manager in gaming is 45 and the oldest millennial is 44 lol get mathed idiot

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So almost half are millennials then?

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

There's actually a single gaming CEO that hasn't been born yet, bringing the average down.

Mean and median can be calculated for uneven distributions.

To be fair, "generations" are bullshit anyway

How quickly the goalposts move, very convenient

But yeah, I generally agree, I'm not the one that framed the discussion that way.

The only meaningful lines of division are along class groups, as the upper class continually consolidates wealth and decision-making power. It's just that most rich people are also old.

Dude chill the fuck out.

I'm not the guy you're responding to, but seriously you're the idiot here.

The average age of a manager is 45 that means there are several that are younger and several that are older. Some may indeed be millennials. Maybe not.

Get "logiced" idiot! But foreal just chill out. What did that other guy ever do you other than suggest some managers might be millennials?

You're tone policing a shitposting sub but I'm the one who needs to chill okay sure

If the average age is above any millennial, they couldn't be the majority group. It makes no sense to pin blame on a younger generation when the reins of power are being clung to by the elder generation across all imaginable contexts, not just game development.

That guy said "many are". Not most or majority or anything like that. I suppose it's possible they edited their comment.

Sure man I'll give up on the tone policing. You're still an idiot going around calling other people idiots for no reason. Check your ego bro. That's all I was saying

[–] Forester@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

The old ones, yes

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They're Elder Millennials at best (born in the 80's, maybe late 70's). Or do they qualify as another generation ?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Late 70s would fall in Gen X.

Millennials start at around '85 depending on who you ask.

Generations seem to be more vibes-based than anything.

Edit:typo

Late 70s and the first few 80s years is a stretch, that's Xennials. Elder Millenials and Xennials have an uneasy truce but we know the difference
