2003:
Call of Duty, Freelancer, Warcraft III Frozen Throne, Tony Hawk Underground, KOTOR, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Steam became a thing, Command and Conquer Generals, Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield, Crimson Skies HRTR, Homeworld II, Morrowind GOTY, it was a stacked fucking year in numerous genres. FPS was in a new and exciting revolution with COD redefining the WW2 FPS, the Xbox was going strong, RTS was still a thing and going strong
2007:
Halo 3, Bioshock, Portal/TF2/The Orange Box, COD 4 MW, The Witcher, God of War 2, Crysis, WOW TBC, Assassin's Creed, Oblivion GOTY, Mass Effect, Europa Universalis III, Stalker SoC. I mean fuck it, just the first game there is enough to do it. Another stacked year. Console FPS was at a peak before unimagined. Casual RTS was unfortunately quite dead, but new strategy games were taking its place with Total War picking up traction and Paradox beginning its rise to prominence, RPGs were hitting the mainsteam in a way never before seen.
Yeah. I don't think it is any exaggeration to say young men specifically did not kill themselves because of videogames in those years. Plenty of these releases on their own would be year defining games. Plenty are decade defining games, and they came out back to back to back.
