Hmm, it must be a "new" term to help refine game classifications. "New" being less than 1-2 years.
According to

Alan Emrich popularized the term in his Computer Gaming World columns after hearing it used by Tom Hughes. He doesn't mention when that was, though.
I first saw "4x" defined on the Website for the current Version of Reach for the Stars.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
