- arien 18y agoTrue, but I don't think these people fit in the 'gamer' category (or rather, 'dedicated gamer'). Well, generalising is bad, but you get the idea. I see them as two (almost) opposed concepts :P And I mean opposed as in, gaming is usually done for your own sake and enjoyment (with or without friends), nothing to do with helping someone else, most of the time. I don't mean gamers are unfriendly people (I'm a gamer myself), just that the concept of gaming is more a personal goal than an altruist one.
