I’m guessing this is just click bait. I started my career as a 16 year old #C64 programmer in 1987 and had my fifth and final game published for the computer in 1991. Admittedly I had an Amiga for a lot of that time but somebody was buying those grants and paying my wages.

I had a C64 up to about 1990 then Amigas until about 1995. All my friends followed a similar pattern
Don't think I even saw a console until my nieces got a megadrive in the early 90s
