    I mean, I play a lot of video games. I don’t identify as a gamer mostly because of the gamergate bullshit connotations.

      That’s exactly it. It used to just mean “People who played games.” Then it got soiled and politicized.

      So to their point, yeah, there’s huge groups of people that don’t care about “gamer problems” because they don’t see themselves as “those people”, even as they…buy and play lots of games.

      They sell us out as well as themselves, and are completely oblivious to the consequences.

        you’re making a lot of faulty assumptions, primarily that people who either don’t play or identify as gamers do not care about problems in gaming.
