Maybe not people his age, but I suspect he was simply too young to be aware of the burgeoning home computer scene, as made apparent but the bizarre suggestion that the only people playing computer games were computer professionals. As I said, "nonsense".

Even as late as 1997 only ~35% of households in the US had a computer [0]. Earlier in the '90s it would have been quite a bit fewer, closer to the ~15% in 1990. Elsewhere in the world even fewer still. And it's very plausible that computer professionals were more likely to have a computer, substantially above the average.

You seem to have taken offense with what OP said and returned it for free, with no arguments attached.
