Depends on the game genre and generation, but yes, they were "owned/pwned/rekt".Don't you mean "pwned"?

It just cracks me up how some folks can't see nuance. It's everywhere. No matter what field you're talking about, airplanes, weaponry -- good lord, even guitar-building --you're making tradeoffs to accomplish design aims. I suspect some folks are susceptible to "magic-bullet" thinking. It's like the old adage: "You can have quality, affordability, or versatility. Choose two."
Tanks, battleships, artillery, and small-arms all fall under that rubric. Oh, and fighter planes, too. All designs have trade-offs.
C'mon, man! That's analog dinosaurthink in a world that has long since become 0/1, yes/no, black/white digital. How archaic of you. You sound like grandpa.

What's wrong with a Grandpa? I are one. The sign over the door to my shop says "You are now entering the nineteen fifties" complete with 50s music. It insures privacy.

It's a typo on "owned" that was memified a couple of decades ago as part of social-media English:
Urban Dictionary: pwned
Been playin in traffic nigh on 75 years already. T'ain't got me yet. Getting purty good at dodgin'.

You guys aren't going to believe this but I looked in the dictionary under "Geezer" and found:
Definition of geezer
1US, informal, humorous or mildly disparaging : an odd, eccentric, or unreasonable person (usually a man)especially : an old man

Funny how things change. From Jonny Reggae by the Piglets
What's he like
Mavis ?
He's a real
tasty geezer.
He's grown his hair a bit
but it's smooth not too long
an' he wears a besball shirt
with a number seventeen on
he looks great in his big white
basketball boots.
He's stupid over football
an' he looks me in the eye
when he shoots.

Reggae...
always start a fight for me
he's always on the phone
at the dance-hall in the evening
he'll always take me home
in his fringe and buckle stompers
and his two-tone tomic strides
he's a real tasty geezer
an' I'm his - here - inside.
