My issues with being called a gamer stem from many planted roots. Like, the negative stigma that follows it. The stereotyping, too. Generally, how little I like to label myself or when others label themselves over something they simply happen to love. The article that sparked this debate with myself can be found here. I feel that if we truly want to find good representations of gamers, we should start acting like good representations of people that love to play video games."
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

You're like the female version of "ThatGuyWithTheGlasses&qu ot;. You should team up to combine your powers in an attempt at WORLD DOMINATION!!!
I do agree with how you and feel the "Gamer" label. I've felt as you do for about 4 years now. There's so much more to a person than their hobbies.
I don't like the name, "gamer" because there are so many dickheads that make "gamers" look like idiots...
I'm not offended by this perspective.
However, I do think there is a lot of overthinking involved when one has a problem with the term "gamer."
who cares. it's a word. if youre afraid of what other people may think about gamers then maybe youre just insecure and ashamed that you play video games.
Gamer stereotypes:
Lazy
Anti social
Bums
nerds
over weight
The funny thing is life is just one big game anyway so I suppose we are all these things.
