To further our understanding of what video games are, we must familiarize ourselves with those who play them, if perhaps we haven’t all done so since childhood.
A gamer is defined as a person who participates in a game in any of the video game modes. They can be divided into three groups:
Gamers: These are the most experienced players. They are known for their passion and long-term commitment to this activity.
They are also different from other players, due to their diversity of tastes, in terms of genres and platform modes.
They are also recognized as insatiable knowledge gatherers, as they like to always be aware of what is happening in their environment, especially about features and new trends.
Casual players: This is a segment that brings together casual or occasional players. They belong to the group of non-traditional players because they are distinguished by the fact that they are brand new players who dedicate several hours a week to the game, and because their involvement is seen as a way to have a good time in their free time.
They are more inclined to sports, arcade and social games. This group of players tends to do little research on the options offered by the market. They simply choose those that contain novelties and seem fun to them.
Programmer: This is a professional level gamer. Those in this group earn money by participating in official tournaments. Although they can also make a profit by working for companies in the industry, especially those that develop games.
There, they dedicate themselves to getting bugs in training or in feedback. Then they make their suggestions.
