when you say veteran do u actually mean veteran of a real life combat war who later joined the games industry or veteran of the games industry



You know "veteran" does mean "someone with a lot of experience in something", right? In non-US countries that's even the primary meaning.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/veteran, https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... both give its primary meaning as "a person who has had a lot of experience of a particular activity" or similar. Even Wikipedia gives the generic definition first, and clarifies the more specific case as "military veteran".


That doesn't answer the question. The ambiguity remains, and so does the question.
