Gamers are “stupid, ignorant, vile, and repulsive, and are the most horrible creatures to ever grace any entertainment outlet. [They] do not crave innovation, [they] do not praise the new blissful fields of [their] creative masters. [They] will take graphics over emotional meaning, technology over decent gameplay, and will just let it all soak in”.

Does that sound like you, Mr or Mrs Gamer? No? Do you feel insulted? Enraged, perhaps? Angered? Upset? I thought so. Just to clarify, the above definition is not my own. It is an extract taken from the opening paragraph of a fairly slanderous article entitled ‘Gamers Are Stupid’, written by Platform Nation’s Nathan Hardisty.
