The world has an estimated 2.2 - 2.5 billion gamers. And the number keeps growing. Do you think this is a good or bad thing? Why?

Bad because 99% of them have shit taste.

/thread

Society is collapsing.

one virgin gamer is a tragedy, two billion virgin gamers are a statistic

/pol/ is to the left, next to the shit-filled toilets.

>a gamer is anyone who has played a video game in the past month
r-rise up fellow gamers

>literally playing any game at any time in your life--ever--makes you a gamer
Is this fair?

Why is gamer a term but not movier or musicer?

meh, more noobs to own am i right fellow elite gamers?

>muh /pol/ boogerman

Unlike boogieman, /pol/ isn't scary, just silly.

I gotta be honest with you, I just don't think about it at all.

How many of them are Chinese?

Now check who plays games on PC or console (no mobile shit) for more than 3 hours per week

Film buffs are frequently called movie goers, its a common term.

the figures are wrong because they count fags and bitches playing candy crush on their phone as "gamers"

Maybe it's an art medium specific colloquialism.

How many of them are phonefags?

Doubt fhe full 2.2 billion are real gamers. I bet about 70% of them are mobile / facebook gamers.

>calling modern casual shitlords that play movie"games" or mobile shit "gamers"
And suddenly the count goes down to a few million.

Doesn't matter when we aren't united gaming as one. Even here on a gaming forum the gamer division is rampant. One wonder who stands to gain from making gamers fight each other because it certainly ain't us.

It's becoming a worthless point to make, just like marking the number of people who enjoy moving pictures would be today.

Wrong.

How can there be two billion people opressed?

Who cares.

There's even more women and you'll be shocked to know how oppressed they are. Women RISE UP

Gamers are mindbroken and programmed to fight their own interests by not banding together. Divide and conquer on the largest scale ever seen.

What a fucking well thought out and informed response. I guess I need to rethink my whole outlook then.
Oh wait, you're just a shitlord who plays modern garbage trying to escape that you'll never be a legitimate gamer like those who came before you playing ACTUAL FUCKING GAMES back in the 80s and early 90s.

Sieg heil to you too.

Bro, you just posted cringe.

Bro, you just posted cringe.

Because only idiots think gamers are oppressed. Not getting your clown-tit masturbation fantasy perfect isn't oppression.

No he's right. Games weren't normie back in the day

Okay now take out the mobile shitters
Then also adjust the graph for people who play less than an hour a week
Then remove people who play one single game a year on average
How many are left?

I need you to stop trivialising gamer persecution.

Nobody bullied you for liking games, you were bullied because you were a quiet ugly loner who didn't talk to anyone.

Nobody cared about you playing video games, but since they wanted to bully you for being a weird faggot they attacked everything you did.

I'm guessing that this doesn't count mobile games. If it did, there is no way that pc would be 50%.

>get bullied
>don't take it as an opportunity to better yourself by growing a spine
that shit stops when you stop acting like a bitch. Your bullies are trying to help you.

Hundreds of millions.

This is so important

Why can't he just BEE himself?

>7 billion people are athletes too.
>What do you mean walking doesn't make you an athlete!?

I think you will find we live in a society

...

Whoa... mind = blown.

I'd wager closer to 80%. They count shit mobile "games" players as gamers

Chill, sperg. It's not like your original point was even worth typing out a good counter-reply to because it was inherently wrong, as the other based user said.

all of you have shit taste except me

The fact that now over 7.5 billion people exist in the world genuinely disgusts me. You could easily kill over half of that and the world would only be the better for it. The ideas of universal love and inherent worth are absolutely nonsense.
>but what-a-bout you, user xD
Nevertheless, my point stands as true. The reasoning of humans is so fucked.

Why don't you just go ahead and admit you're wrong? No one is going to judge you for being wrong and being a decent person and admitting it. People DO judge you for being an asshat that doubles down on their bullshit by acting like a little bratty eight year old because someone called them out on their shit.

I have a full time job and manage to crack in 3 hours in Bloodborne only yesterday, what's your excuse?

This but for me and unironically

>>Your bullies are trying to help you.
By crying to censor everything and literally remove games off the shelves?

In the space of 3 generations population has doubled and its only growing faster. It's looking like a bloody grim future for the upcoming generations

user turn on tv in current year and you'll see normie tv hosts talking about gamers as neckbearded virgins in their basements. That was even more true back in the day. Stop being detached from reality.

>crack in 3 hours in Bloodborne
Did you play though it twice??

remember when the media tried to convince people there were more women than men playing games

Bullying is just nature and it can be helpful because it is ultimately a process thats goal is to pressure loners out of their weird habbits and normalize them so that they can then live with the rest like the social animal we are. The number of lonely young adults has skyrocketed ever since when bullying was treated as a serious threat.

But we can still be elitist and pretend video games are our special secret club, right guys?

>user turn on tv in current year and you'll see normie tv hosts talking about gamers as neckbearded virgins in their basements
Wrong. You Yea Forumstards want gaming to be some small niche thing so hard. That hasn't been the case in decades. Get a life.

Playing minesweeper on Windows counts as being a gamer now?

>process thats goal is to pressure loners out of their weird habbits
Yep and the only reason I call you nigger faggot is because I want to push you out of your gay nigger shell so that you can emerge as a straight white man. Until then nigger faggot is what I'll call you, but it's for your own good

dilate and cope while seething, you are cringe and bluepilled. Yikes!

>That hasn't been the case in decades
I'm sorry that you're delusional but I can't help you.

Where do you live where people come up and tell each other nigger faggot? Oh right. In the internet.

You're the delusional one, mentally ill Yea Forumsdditor.

Salty pc cuck

Just watch any normie tv show, you literal retard. Watch Conan play video games in his video game segment and see what he thinks of his gamer pal. Last time I checked half of the jokes on that segment are usually about how much of a loser his gamer friend is.

I think they more want it to be small and unliked so they can continue to use it as the excuse why they are not liked, instead of the real reason: their personalities. I call everyone niggers, faggots, trannies, cucks, blame everything bad on mudslimes and jews. Nobody likes me, man gamers are so oppressed.

Man, you're so full of anger, aren't you? Have sex.

they'd be doing us all a favor by pushing videogames back into the 'corner' and away from normal public acceptance.

> estimated 2.2 - 2.5 billion gamers

More than half of that are crappy mobile players.

And you're out of arguments, I guess you can have your dilation break now

No wonder you were bullied, you're clearly just a massive cunt. Niggers amirite?

Literally just did cleric beast and reached father Gascoigne. It's my first time playing and I finally get why people won't shut up about it, it's pretty great

Bad. We have to do something about them so they don't rise up. People think a couple of bad eggs in antifa compare to a threat like this?
WHAT.
THE.
HECK.

It's simply the future. Or rather it's the foundation.

The reason we don't encounter any intelligent life is because every advanced species lives in a virtual world that caters to its every possible fantasy. Why the hell would you ever leave a wish factory? Nothing out in reality will be better than in that virtual world. Nothing. Their systems will deliver everything better than real life several times over.

>Dude there are 2 BILLION gamers!!!
>fortnite which is supposed to be the "most popular game ever released in the history of gaming"(self proclaimed) doesnt even have 2million concurrent players

>bro, it's warm and safe in the cave
>the shackles don't chafe that much I swear

Fuck this gay earth.

Yes?

It's the future and there's no stopping it.

conan jokes are usually self depricating at his own skill level

I don't ever think I've heard a conan joke where he claims he's better than someone

he often has athletes on his show, and constantly makes fun of his own body

think you missed the whole point of the show

I'm going to guess if I watch a clip of this segment it will be him making fun of himself for being shit at the game for about 5 minutes

I did a crossword once so I guess you can say I'm a gamer

>cringe
>Yikes!
Yikes!
