Does that ever really happen? I've only ever heard anything like that in the context of trying to broaden the meaning of the term "gamer" and even then it's not the people who play those kinds of games who make that assertion.
Well not all of them but the ones that do are annoying, For example my mother actually thinks she's on my level. Then there are those who don't play games but say mobile gamers are gamers too i forgot to mention *cough cough* Adam Ruins Everything *Cough*
