Yeah holy shit, we really went through eras playing games, theyve pretty much only ever known fortnite, like modern 18 year olds

Nah, zoomers went through the whole indie horror game gauntlet, Minecraft, terraria, etc.

Edit Addendum: Also, don't forget about games like Friday Night Funkin and the plethora of mods that it spawned. The Five Nights at Freddy's fandom was basically a cult at some point and still memed. Cuphead was a big enough phenomenon to get it's own animated series. Stardew Valley is another game that will doubtless have influence beyond it's years. Motherfucking Undertale, sans memes, etc. VA-11 HALL-A was pretty popular for a while too. Don't forget about Among Us. Lethal Company is still getting updates. SCP Secret Laboratory is another one people forget about, but is still a game with a dedicated player base. Kenshi...oh man great game released in 2018. Fucking Persona 5 and Metaphor ReFantaszio, great games. MiSide is a new game, a horror game that doubtless has a small yet dedicated following. No Man's Sky is great, especially after they fixed it. Many Gen-Z doubtless remember Subnautica. Ultrakill is something that is quite special.

I mean, they've decided to stick with fortnite, roblox, minecraft, whatever. But, there have been thousands of great games released that they just chose not to play.

Either only Fortnite, or a mix of that + Minecraft + Roblox.
