I don't think it's fair to call someone with over 2000 hours dedicated to gaming a casual gamer, or discount their opinion as a result. You having double the amount is not a good reason to gatekeep, just like I won't gatekeep you: https://i.imgur.com/Vu5nxBE.png
The issue with this piece isn't a lack of gaming experience from the author, but rather that they apply their personal feelings about a small selection of games they've played to the entire market in general, while dismissing the not-boring time they've had during those 2000 hours.
yeah, after reading the whole thing i noticed my comment was out of touch and not particularly useful nor representative of what's a "gamer".. i don't know why i felt the need to comment like that
I am always surprised by those timers but I am under the impression they aren't accurate because they are inflated by idle time like waiting for queues.
I say this as someone who has 200 hours in clicker heroes and I haven't played that game for 200 hours. I just left it open and checked every 20 minutes.
it makes you a casual gamer, specially since you listed online multiplayer games, that could explain the title
This is what you can call a proper gamer:

Also a proper title would have been:
"I'm no longer finding fun/excitement playing video games"
