Gaming online can be like a warzone! I remember when I had a Xbox 1 and playing games like PGR2 and Halo 2 online, I'd get people going on about how Halo is the bestest ever and if you play other stuff online then your crap.
I wouldnt say people why only play facebook or flash games are propper gamers, those apps just pass the time, its not competitive or anything.
If you play full games on a console or a PC Id say thats propper gaming. But thats just me saying that, im not being mean or anything.
