So people who play a game are not gamers? Hmm so other than playing games what exactly does one need to do to be a gamer? Play on your preferred console? Play certain games that you feel make a person a gamer? Play a certain amount of time? SO my ex who played 60 hours of Sorority Life on FB is a gamer to you but my friends that dont devote their life to WoW but instead play other games are not gamers at all?
Seriously not trying to sound like an ass but I am one so it just happens like that but I would like to know how exactly one becomes a gamer to you other than the extremely obvious way
