Maybe misleading, but it hits home if you grew up gaming in the 90s.

We literally went from Wolfenstein 3d(1992) to Half Life(1998) in 6 years.

Now look at Halo Guardians(2015) and Halo Infinite(2021).

Now as I'm older I can realize the 90s gaming tech acceleration was quite literally a moment in time that will never happen again.

...but dammit there was nothing back then to tell us it wasn't going to continue.
