Like I said that's only what I've heard, but I haven't played the Gamez and I doubt its true even if it did fit.

I've heard its because of the games anti-corporate message.
But even as someone who blames their boomer-ass wintel admin coworkers for allowing AD to EEE its way into enterprise IT, I have a hard time buying that. That game was making too much money for that.
Depends, the younger half that's adjacent to gen alpha? Sure.
On the other side of that coin, I'm in my mid 20s. Not sure about the rest of the older members of gen-z, but my first experience with a computer was Classic Mac OS and Reader Rabbit.
I barely remember when we got the late PIII purple Compaq presario running XP when I was like 3/4. Playing red faction, and shit my brother showed me on new grounds. I remember my mom showing me how to pirate sabbath using Morpheus. Filling the machine up with useless IE toolbars.
Early YouTube was fucking sweet in the worst way possible, though at first I had to sneak it because that was considered a not-for-kids site at the time.
No one my age really touched a smartphone til like middle/highschool. By then we where all already playing halo:CE and early releases of MC on the win 7 machines in the lab.
I personally had already had basic Photoshop/paint.net and scripting/programming skills trying to make shit for Minecraft (and Roblox before that.)
Granted I also might be a bad example because I ended up working in IT, have written software to some capacity since I was 12, collect vintage machines, and keep a server rack as a pet. Furthermore, the vast majority of my daily computing happens within a collection of virtual machines running Debian.
Personally my solution to the problem was building a Linux Mint machine for my niece and her stepbrothers. Took them a bit to figure things out, but it seems to be going well.
Also bonus ageing juice for all you geezers out there:
Gen-z will technically be entering its thirties soon :P
Just like my balls.
Because all-in-one units are usually garbage, no traction. This one is made to go into an industrial drill press, like my old nan use to use.
Live sea sponges might I add.
Personally I keep them dangling from the ceiling along with my sausages.
Legitamate and ethical are two different things. Seedboxes, VPN subscriptions, recreational psychedelics, DIY gender-affirning HRT, etc...
Mechanical safeties where introduced to prevent accidental discharge when dropped. Glocks, and other modern handguns have other features to prevent this without manual intervention.
You're also talking about about people who are at least legally adults. 18 is a low bar until you compare it to 10.
Yeah that's why I said I don't really buy the excuse myself, its just the only thing I could think of that really even starts to make sense.
And even then its far-fetched as shit.
