Yeah, I agree with you. Having less time myself, but that's not why I would never want to be called a "gamer".
I just hate the fucking sense of... Arrogance? Entitlement? I don't know the right word, but I feel more and more people are having meta conversations about gaming than actually just shutting up, playing games, and having honest conversations about games.
It's also promoting what I consider to be unhealthy habits. Playing for excessive amounts of time, collecting achievements, pwning each other.
I just don't want to be associated as a gamer if that's the image gamers try to create.
