Not that I wouldn’t talk about it, but I kinda think it’s weird if gaming is a huge part of someone’s self identity. Unless you’re a professional streamer then gaming is just a leisure activity. I watch and talk about TV shows, but I don’t introduce myself to people as a TV watcher. I read a lot, but I don’t introduce myself as a reader. I play tabletop games but I don’t put role-player in my bio. Though that sounds like some kink thing.

For what it's worth Tinder now includes "board games" as an interest, so it's definitely not hugely uncommon.
Now, I don't think folks are demanding more genocide options in Settlers of Catan, but I could be wrong.
