What is a Gamer?

What is a gamer?

When you spend a lot of time playing video games, are you considered a gamer? What does a gamer really mean? When you play video games, its one thing, but mastering and beating a lot of games is another thing

There are different classifications of a gamer. The ones who are competitive, the ones who play for fun or the casual gamer, and the ones who play to beat the game. So the question is, where do I fit in?

I play a lot of games like MOBA, MMORPG, FPS, RPGs and even puzzle and card games. But there will come a time that you would want to excel and compete with other players in you favorite game. You invest your time in practicing a hero or a character just to beat your friends or anyone else online. You would also want to be recognized in the E-sport scene.

You could say that was one of my dream before then eventually, I failed. Mastering a game is not that easy. Sure, you are going to be good at playing DOTA 2 but there is a slim chance you could be invited in the biggest E-sport tournament in the world. With the millions of players playing the game I'm sure there are a lot of them better than your skill in game. Hate to break it to you but its true

Even though it is possible, it also means that you've got a lot to sacrifice. This will include your time. Your time with your family, your job, your studies and your friends. It is going to be your career if you would really go on that path.

At my age as a gamer, I try to balance my time with gaming, my family and my job. Even if I haven't finished a lot of games in my PS4, as long as you juggle your time well, it would definitely be worth it. Sacrificing your time with your family means you'll regret it in the long run. Your games are just there and will not hate you or love you back and you can play video games whenever you have a free time.

So what does a real gamer mean? A gamer manages his time well without sacrificing anything and having fun ingame or even in the game of life.
