well, if we look at your argument from a strictly unbiased and definitive perspective then yes, even if a person only "plays 2 games" they are gamers. that is the definition of a gamer; one who plays games.

If we apply this contextually to the world of gaming in general, we can see that kudos and credit are/aren't given when due. I can understand your point, however, feel as though there is another side to the conversation. I really don't understand why you are so upset over this.

Also, this is where the phrase "filthy casuals" can come into play when addressing weekend warriors...

You may not agree, which you wont. But even people that play candy crush or clash of clans are
considered gamers. Because guess what. They are playing a game. O_O wut who knew.

If you play a Game, that makes you a gamer. Nuff said complain all you want it still makes you a gamer and it's just logic

[quote="Knih"]Urg, the title says it all.

I'm sick of talking to people/seeing things where people say " I'm a gamer " just because they only play 1 or 2 games ( E.g Minecraft, Lol, CoD and GTA ) they play all the same crappy generic games as everyone else. They've only played them for like 3 months and they think they're some epic gamer and brag about how good they are at them when they're not even good.

It's also annoying when someone says this so I think " Oh, cool, you're a gamer? So what games have you played? " Then all they talk about is CoD or Minecraft. Like, WHY DO YOU THINK PLAYING 2 GAMES MAKES YOU A GAMER?!

I perceive a gamer to be someone who has played multiple games over a long period of time. Not someone who's just gotten a Xbox One for Christmas and only plays Minecraft.

Same for people who say " Pc master race " because as I mentioned, they only play Minecraft or LoL.


It's getting to the point where I just want to leave TTG and quit gaming in general because that's all I seem to see and it's the exact same on almost every post and usually always one of the 4 games I mentioned.

Leave The Tech Game then and stop gaming,simples

Moronic wrote Actually even if people only plays one game they are still classed as a gamer, I think you need to calm down a little. Gamer definition : A person who plays a game or games, typically a participant in a computer or role-playing game.


So I can play Minecraft for 3 seconds then go around shouting I'm a gamer? No. As I said, I gave my perception on what a gamer is.

That's like saying " I'm a football player " because they've played football once in their back garden. Just no.

Not really they aren't saying that they are a "pro gamer" they are just saying they play games which makes them a gamer, the game style doesn't matter whether it's shooting or building blocks they are still classed as a gamer. Also you can't "Give your own words of a gamer" as a gamer is a gamer and that is evidently someone who simply plays a game/games.


You can't play a single game and say " gamer " to me, gamer is plural. If you play 1 game you say " I play 1 game " not " I'm a gamer " and when that game is as I said, the same generic games everyone's playing and you've only played them since you just got a console at Christmas, you're not a ' gamer '.

Go back to my second comment about the football remark. Same applies.

To cut it short I'm not going to argue with you however I want you to do one thing.
Open Google and search for the word "Gamer" tell me what comes up, I'll do it for you actually.

Yes that's right "Someone who plays a game or games"
By the way, football has nothing to do with gaming.


For the 3rd time. *Sigh*

So if I download Minecraft, log in and take 1 step, log it, I'm a gamer? No.

People like you don't use your brain and just run to copy and paste make typing effortless.

For your information, I didn't mention anything about the length of time someone plays a game, I simply mentioned that someone playing only one game is a gamer which is correct.


You didn't mention anything. Like everyone who has no valid retort, you run to copy and paste. The past 5 posts I think. You've said nothing. Everything is just copy and paste/relating to the copy and paste.

Hence you won't talk about my comment and don't know how to reply to it. Because you don't have a good retort since there's nothing you can copy and paste.

I've not copied and pasted anything, I've pasted one picture in one post that's about it, you're just butthurt because your statement is false. I'm done with your stupidity so please waste your time replying back.

I agree with Moronic... Who said anything about how long they play? The people you were talking about in your post, have clearly not "logged into minecraft, took 1 step, and logged out." They've been playing for atleast a few days, which basically overrides your entire argument.... This discussion is over. You're welcome. Have a nice day.

The term "Gamer" is more general than you think.


You could play a game of Monopoly and be considered a "Gamer" because Monopoly is a game right?

You could play an iPhone game and be considered a gamer.

You were just introduced to a misconception to the word "Gamer".

You should calm down a bit. I'd class a gamer as someone who routinely plays games.
