The important point is that "gamer" is a word made from attaching "-r" to the verb game. If you play you are a "player", if you watch you are a "watcher", if you read you are a "reader". Thinking that the word "gamer" is idiotic is idiotic.

Its always been like this. Personally, I love the term gamer as its used, almost exclusively, with the FPS and racing game obsessed manboys I love to hate and go out of my way to avoid. Normal people tend to say "I play video games" or "I play $whatever." Gamer as a self-identification is very useful socially.
