Comment on Gamer Logic š”

I donāt think average gamer kept up with gamersgate, since they just were more interested in what games came out, reviews, and discussions about games.

It also ignored casual gamers. Like I think little phone games are now the biggest market. Honestly I think gamer is such a blanket term it doesnāt have a lot of meaning anymore. I am pretty sure just by how widely digital gaming is now, how many players are like under 10 years old etc like they could NOT be gamergate people.

Yeah, its like making assumptions about cinema and TV show fans, but many donāt keep up with celebrity news or culture. Its just a source of entertainment to them they like to watch.
Games being some niche demographic that is in the loop of every discourse is a very outdated old person view now. Its actually so popular now the revenue from it is more than film and music combined.
Even something like Marvel and DC being the stereotypical interest of some nerds no longer applies once it became mainstream, and thatās where games have been at for years now.
