You must be Gen Z because the prevailing attitude towards video games of all kinds was mostly negative in the 20th century. They even tried to blame Doom for school shootings.

I was born in 89. I'm talking about GPUs specifically, not just video games.

That, but the exact opposite. Games were the primary motivation for GPUs in desktop computers in the 90s.
