Well said! I think it's a matter of identity too. My mom plays bejeweled and Farmville, and used to play SNES. She didn't like 64, but played Myst and Riven and lots of PC games.

But if you ask her if she's a gamer she'll say no without hesitation.

    I think "gamer" has been pretty tainted and is mostly used pejoratively nowadays. I play a lot of games but do not want to be associated with capital G Gamers and all the toxicity
