Counterpoint to every single comment on that article: Why does it matter if you count Facebook games? Is it a source of pride for you that more people in your gender play more 'hardcore' games? How would that ever matter ever? Also, I hate you.


Sidenote, I can't see the word 'gamer' anymore without thinking it says 'gamergate'.
The simple answer is they have a lot invested in their idea of "gaming" because it makes them feel special. Either you play the "right" games in the "right" way or you aren't a gamer.

It's so funny that it's sad. This is PC we're discussing, and the platform's biggest draw is being able to do whatever you want however you want. These arbitrary rules seem to have room for only one type of gamer, the type that pours hundreds or thousands into parts so they can fully max out AAA games.

PC gaming's moved beyond that stage. PC is where all the exciting things in the indie scene happen because it's easy to self-publish. PC and smartphone are where all the casual games are because everyone has a PC, a smartphone, or both because those are actual necessities in today's society. Of course, PC will always have the AAA, graphically impressive games that this self-described bourgeoisie wants because there will always be money in that.

There's room for all these things, therefore there is room for all these types of gamers. It's a pretty simple concept yet there's a loud, vocal segment of gamers that might as well be wearing shirts that say "NO GIRLS ALLOWED". Who the fuck cares? The more people that game on PC, the more things that come to PC. That's good for all of us.

I have XB1 as you guys know. It's seriously not an evil machine like some think it is. That is all.

Gamergate is ridiculous. I don't see a reason to say anything beyond this since I assume we're all against the harassment that's come out of this.

Stop this ableist language, too. There are also a lot of words you could use instead of this.

Sorry, I've just been horrible with words lately, I don't know why.

I guess I've just simply not taken the effort to actually write something witty as I'm often just bored or tired when I comment. =/

*edit*

Oh, and now I know a new word, thanks. :p

I think it'd be best not to use any words that refer to people with disabilities as an insult.

Yeah, probably. I've almost always been a bit desensitised with some "insults" like retarded etc.

It probably wouldn't hurt for me to work on that.

Come on, man. I post reminders on facebook once every few weeks or so. Usually after I make that mistake.
Well people tend to comment on them so I don't read them
Most of the time it is just failure saying something to the effect of him being a masochist.

I don't have a problem with the system itself. I think it is an underpowered piece of tech that is certainly not helping game devs out in the current sphere of things, and I do have a problem with Microsoft and their business.

Yeah, slow, but this game kicks ass and you need to get it if you didn't get a chance to play it on PS3. If your rig has any kind of dedicated GPU whatsoever, you can probably run it.

The Nintendo direct yesterday confirmed a majora's mask remake, the release date for mario kart dlc being November 13, captain toad got pushed into January for Europe, kirby comes out on February, and splatoon has single player which looked cool. That was the majority of it aside fromthe sonic demo and stuff like that, at least that I remember

For me this direct was just a whole bunch of meh. Coolest part was the release date for Mario Kart DLC, even though that was hardly news.

All I want are Metroid, Star Fox and F-Zero news.

I'm just glad to hear about majoras mask 3d. It's the only main-zeeconsole zelda I haven't played. I've been wanting to buy it, but have been holding off in hopes of this.

Also I thought splatoon's single player looked great. Well probably not hear about much of those games until e3 honestly. I expect between f-zero, metroid, and 3d Mario we'll get at least two in 2016.
