My guess is those in Disney that worked on Tron: Evolution, & Tron Legacy were of our generation in that they created a 'you have to be there' moment where it's a 'play the game then watch the movie' thing.
The Future Was Now: Madmen, Mavericks, and the Epic Sci-Fi Summer of 1982 by Chris Nashawaty
In the summer of 1982, eight science fiction films were released within six weeks of one another. E.T., Tron, Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, Poltergeist, The Thing, and Mad Max: The Road Warrior changed the careers of some of Hollywood's now biggest names―altering the art of movie-making to this day.
When I was a kid I loved how the gang got away with everything. Now I'm a teacher, I relate more to the teacher who murdered all the assholes in his class.

1984 was the center of the Genx universe. If you weren’t in that class it impacted you anyway.
