I don't know if I'd still call myself a gamer. I still play games, but I just don't have much time for them. As such, I do have videos on in the background frequently and it is frequently people playing games (though how they're doing it or what they're doing in the games is the interesting part and, in some cases, I'd watch the same content if it weren't in a game but that's how it happens to be packaged).
