    Gamers makes as much sense as a word as "smartphoners" would. It is hundreds of million of people enjoying vastly different media and holding vastly different believes. As such, any takes about "gamers" is doomed to be cringe. Just stop already.

    People who buy expensive consoles or build gaming PCs are a different cohort than people who only play cheap/old games or play on their smartphone, I think. One group has more money and more leisure time than the other, which has class implications.

    The class lines aren't clean cut, I'm sure there are workers that will use their vacation time to play GTA 6, but there's a tendency.

    Gamers are one of the reasons (well it's mainly me being busy, but I'd rather blame the mini-Hitlers) I maybe play like, 1-2 hours a week, if that.

    I've been trying to rekindle my love of anime and cartoons to distance myself from gaming. It's honestly become not fun as I've gotten older and the audience for games is well, you know the rest.
