Of course we're all gamers, Term. I'm not disputing that. I think it's pretty silly to claim someone who barely plays games is equal to someone who plays a lot as far as passion goes. Of course I want to stand out, I love games and I'm proud of it. Everyone has that one thing they love to do, and they enjoy talking about it. There's no need for a label like 'casual' since it sounds degrading but that seems to be the only thing that gets the message across quickly. Otherwise I'd have to go in to explicit detail to everyone when explaining what kind of gamer I am. It's much easier to say "well, I'm not just a casual gamer, I play tons of games - daily" then to say "well I don't just sit on my iphone and play candy crush while on break at work, then go home and play 30 min of CoD on Tuesdays". Terms can help as long as you're not just using them solely to belittle someone in a rude way.
So your definition of a gamer is someone that plays video games along with having knowledge of the gaming industry in those cases?
Nope. I said a gamer can be anyone, but in order to make it more specific, you can apply "cares about/studies the industry" or "casual iphone gamer" or "CoD for an hour a week" to people to define what
kind of gamer they are.
