I am 35.
Actually the current generation and the new generation gap in gaming experience is very small. Unlike the prev generation like my dad , video games were very limited and only appear when they were like 30.

In my generation however, we witness the rise of the Internet.
We witness the games console of ps, xbox and various other computer games from ultima, karateka, castle wolfenstein, quake, doom and  command and conquer. These games are the origin of the range of other modern games you see today with the exception of MMORPG.

We know why in a GUI OS like Vista, there is still "cmd.exe", after all my generation is the generation that defines the groundwork of all that we see today in IT technology.

Thus, i wont be surprised Dota is playable by those in 1970s till date, computer games after all a part of my generation as much as yours.
