Depends on the game genre and generation, but yes, they were "owned/pwned/rekt".

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.
 
Okay, I'm a geezer. What is "pwned"?

It's a typo on "owned" that was memified a couple of decades ago as part of social-media English:


Urban Dictionary: pwned
 
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.

here comes Johnny Reggae

Johnny Reggae
Reggae
lay it on me.

Reggae
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.
