Loot-Ninja presents an article questioning the status of self-declared non-gamers. Raising the question of how to bring the large casual gaming market the attention and the voice appropriate and representative of its demographic. The concept of a Bridge Gamer is developed.
"I declare shenanigans on this non-gamer status! You cannot avoid the designation of a gamer when you play games on your mobile or DS. You are playing video games, than you are a gamer. You may not be a hardcore gamer, but you are gamer. Admit it. Now welcome to our world. I declare thee Bridge Gamer."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Bridge Gamer is not the only term for it. Middle of the road gamers who don't just play casual games but don't spend hours online may be just Middle or Mid Gamers. Or just Gamers.

There need to be a couple sup-categories in there. I own the 3 main consoles, and older systems, but I don't play religiously. There are spurts here and there where I'll play many hours in a week but then sometimes I wont pick up a controller for a while, so there should be another category; one step under hardcore. As well, many system fanboys own more than one system because most fanboys, oddly enough, are hardcore gamers (I would say).
