Gamer

“A dedicated, proactive hobbyist who relishes competition, playing interactive skills-based games in teams or single crewed against opponents for long periods of time”  

The term ‘gamer’ has been in use since 1422 to describe dice players, carders, and gamblers but the history of video gaming started in the 1950s with simple simulations on minicomputers and mainframes, evolving into Spacewar as the first game developed by student hobbyists followed by the first consumer video game hardware appearing in the 1970s. The golden age of arcade video games burst onto the scene with the likes of Space Invaders and Pac-Man in the 1980s and with the onset of the console, the gaming industry has boomed. Millions of people now play online gaming and stream with gamers from all over the world giving people a sense of accomplishment and competition, the space to be themselves and explore different gamer and team personalities in a safe environment.
