I doubt there was much computer games being played in  1350. I rest my case.

Yes but it isn't 1350 and the meanings of words change to  adapt
to the current spoken and written language. The dictionary is not  set in
stone it's constantly being updated by having words removed and  added. Not
enough are removed though.
