Back then the mainframe was still local. Like using terminal server these days. I learned FORTRAN on a IBM 3090.
We called non-game programs applications or apps since forever here in the midwest. Then it got popular with the smart phones.
Subscriptions suck, and I blame Adobe for that, but some games require an internet connection even though you bought the software. That would suck. How would the kids play during a car ride? (We don't have any of those, I guess we are too technically challenged)
On a side note, I have reverted back to my old bedtime building Paul Allen's huge airplane in Kerbal to see how large of a satellite you can actually get into orbit with it. I am going through a lot of coffee today!
