    Are you pretending to be moronic?

    Look at console wars and pc master race. Look at people who think they're super intelligent for playing niche indie games.

    Literally everything about the fighting game community.

    If you haven't noticed elitism in gaming, you must be extremely new. Fresh out the pussy.

        You've literally just proved my point by so desperately trying to be absolutely correct about your entire statement. It's wrong and you're moronic. Video games are now a bigger industry then TV and film so of course it's packed with elitism. Console wars are not in good fun, people have literally killed eachother over video games before. That's how pathetic people can be. Stop being moronic.

    video game elitism died when the barrier of entry was completely removed by streaming. i'd say 90% of "gamers" just watch others play video games so of course they wont be elitist

      soulsgays aren't gamers, they play video games not for fun but instead because they have no accomplishments in the real world

    elitist here, gaming as a hobby is unfortunately very appealing to morons, 95+% of gamers are tasteless morons including this board.

    This entire board is contrary to your thesis. But gatekeeping is good in games, every single franchise gets worse when it tries to appeal to wider audiences.

      You can't gate keep when the developers make the game more accessible to appeal to more people. You don't need to gate keep when developers don't compromise.

    I wouldn't say this is so catch-all. I've known people who get legit mad that you play games they don't like, or how you enjoy the hobby (speedrunning, trophy hunting etc.) or won't drop what you're doing to play a certain game.

    In general though I'd say since gaming is a more seclusionary hobby people just do what works for them, and doj't give a shit about others, just enjoying games.

    Lmao OP isn't even a real gamer. I've played tons of genres and many have awful fanbases and autistic wars. Everyone knows the spergy nerds are the most petty and violent of all and games attract spergy nerds. OP doesn't know shit.
