> As Parkin points out, the term “gamer” is idiotic. We don’t call movie fans “moviers” or literature enthusiasts “bookers.” We call people who read "readers", we call people who go to movies "movie-goers". Game isn't just a noun, it's a verb, and adding an "-r" or "-er" to the end of a verb is a common English way of turning that verb into a word that means "person who [verb]s". To suggest otherwise is idiotic.
