    I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don’t really fit into the category:

    While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.

        Feels like you didn’t read the article and are just trying to snark about a point that noone is making. 🤷‍♂️
