10 Misconceptions About Gamers from Non-Gamers

June 24, 2015 by Ian Miles Cheong

Here are ten misconceptions about gamers that we hope to debunk.

While all most gamers want to do is to be left alone to play video games, gamers don't always have it easy thanks to public perception. There are many misconceptions about gamers from non-gamers, and we hope to debunk at least ten of them and bury such nonsense. 

The way the public sometimes treats us reminds us that it's not all fun and games, as we're accused of being anti-social loners with personality problems, whose hobby is the cause of real-world violence. Nothing could be farther from the truth, as we hope to show.

If you play games, which you obviously do especially since you're reading this, then you'll want to check out a video we made about ten misconceptions that non-gamers make about gamers, and why they're wrong.
