Actual studies showed that the majority of people who play games as a hobby do not call themselves gamers.
People with no self control/people you would consider sperglords are more than willing to say they're gamers.
Gamer sounds super fucking casual and that's why Reddit and Facebook girls use it to appeal to other casuals
"Gamer' is more of a descriptor for the hyper faggots who base their entire identity and sense of self around playing video games. Typically casual tripe like COD.
'Player' is a far better descriptor for a proper core gamer
I've been playing video games since I was 3 years old and I've never used the term "gamer" before. It's mostly the foreigners and redditfags that cling to that label.
