words do in fact have a meaning, yes. and a 2013 game isnt retro
It's like Gen Zs calling Millennials boomers just because they're twice their age.

Gen Z call Millennials boomers when they act like boomers
...like being hurt because not everyone loves OoT in a IGN poll
I wonder what fun moniker I will call my kids as I tell them to get of my millennial lawn

Honestly I think retro should just be a term to define an era of gaming, not a term for older consoles and games in general.
HDMI is the retro game cutoff. If the original system the game appeared on had HDMI, it's not a retro game.
CRT-era games are retro. This is official. Put it in the dictionary. Put it on wikipedia.

It's the weekend, so actually yes we are meant to create threads for every dumb thought.
Retro was an apt description for NES-PlayStation when game design was still rapidly changing and evolving. The Last of Us is still a template for many AAA games today, it isn't old or of its time - it's incredibly modern.
I know this is probably a joke thread but consoles shouldn't just be considered retro by timespan. Do we consider MCU films from 8 years ago retro?

Tell that to r/retrogaming
Guess it's time to throw away the draft for my thread on the mating habits of Street Sharks
Exactly, it's two generations old, and was originally released in the Bush administration
First MCU movie is basically ancient now.
Spider-Man and Blade from the early 2000s? Pre-historic, really.
On topic - how this has caught traction in the past few days is just the dumbest thing.
I don't make the rules, I'm just reporting them. HDMI is the retro pivot.
15 is a good measure I think, Wii Sports and Twilight Princess are pretty retro now

Did you miss Iron Man on TCM?
But I 100% agree with you, retro should refer to an era in gaming the same way modern refers to an era of art.
You know what? The Last of Us 2 is a retro game. Any game that was released in 2020, or before that year, is retro.
Can we stop with calling anything that isn't at least 25-30 years old retro? What is going on with this forum? Lol.
