I'm in my late thirties. Played a lot of video games when I was a kid through college and a little after. But this whole idea of there being a "gaming culture" or how being a "gamer" is a major part of peoples' personalities just seems weird to me. Not even a complaint, just an observation.

    I mean it’s no different than making chess or sports part of your culture and personality

      It's not 100% exactly the same. I don't really hear about "heated chess moments" that involve SWATting the other player.

        I have a friend who got into a fist fight over a chess game once bc his opponent accused him of cheating. But point taken
