Oh come on. The word movie is idiotic then. "Look the things on the screen are moving, thus movie!" Or talkies. Language didn't all of a sudden become silly. 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.
