    What is up, my fellow gamesters? I am just one of your friendly humanoid gamesters here. Nothing to fear.

    “Gamer” was a term invented by marketing people to define a group of people they could market to (mostly related to gambling), which is part of why it’s always felt like a bit like an insult.

    In a parallel universe where the crash didn’t happen, we all adopted “gamesters” as the official term.
