They mean gamers of old. That is, currently old gamers, but back when we were young, and had time, and not a lot of games to fill it with, so we appreciated a longer game.

Current young gamers have vast libraries of games to choose from, and shortened attention spans due to social media.

Old people also have those same new games and also have the same social media and attention span issues.
