So, agree to disagree I guess.
Unless you are getting paid to play games (which is the actual threshold definition of a Pro whatever) then you are pretty much at the same level than I am. Which is, a gamer. Or an hardcore gamer if you prefer. The amount of time you play is completely irrelevant past a certain threshold.
But yes, to answer your question: obviously someone who has ten times the knowledge in a field in comparison to someone who barely touch it and know next to nothing in it is obviously going to be worth more than the other guy when discussing that particular field of interest. That's, again, the very definition of a specialisation in our day, time and age. Why do you contract a carpenter to build walls of a house instead of just taking anybody else walking on the street? Same for a painter? Or any other specialisation which exist in the construction industry (of which there has to be like a hundred different kind)?
Completely disingenuous comment from you here. Only reason why I even bring it up instead of completely ignoring it is that the same thing also happen in gaming. For example I don't consider someone who play only FPS games as a gamer. More like a specialised person who only do that (playing FPSes). A real gamer is interested in the industry as a whole and is open to play anything, not only one specific subset of it.

Seriously tho, this is a perfect example of the Gen Z problem. People who grew up and accepted the fact that they hold the perfect sum of knowledge ever created in the palm of their hands since as long as they remember but refuse to use it to check out anything, leading to completely made up things, words or concepts. Perfect example: the term "boomer" which, by "definition", relate to people older than the person who use it. While any normally constituted individual is going to think it relate to the term "baby boomer", a term coined so many decades ago it's not even funny. With an actual reason and history behind it. While the term "boomer" is just a made up term which follow up on that old "baby boomer" one without any kind of logic behind it.
"Gamer" is just the same thing. It has been coined, like I've already said, like 25 years ago. But now people just pretend it doesn't. For convenience I guess? It just make no sense whatsoever.
Suuuuure, whatever
"Gamer" is not a profession. It's a hobby. It does not need definitions and "specialisations". Deal with it. Or don't.
Sorry if the truth hurt you.
I've had my share of arguing with "professional gamuuhrs" in early 00's, who aggressively and clumsily tried to defend their chosen identity against perceived threats, and also force some kind of hierarchy onto everyone else. I thought it was an age thing then. It's so embarassing and amusing to see those same claims now. It's a waste of time, but some people just never grow up, I guess.
Nice try
Though I don't necessarily disagree with "A gamer is a proactive hobbyist <...> who plays games", depending on degree of "proactive".
...buuuuut... there are some releases that are expensive AND trash at the same time, real shame
Uhm, no.
The problem are those "elite gamerz" who are out of touch. You need to realize that you are the one percent. You are the one out of touch with the rest of the video game playing world.
That goes for everybody who is "in too deep". In table-top wargaming you have tournament players who will voice their opinion about everything and demanding better balancing for niche troops or more tactical options and what not, not realizing that 99 % of players usually do so in a beer & pretzel manner among friends.
The main difference between gaming and other hobbies or sports is that people are usually supportive towards amateurs and happy when someone gets into their thing. "Real Gamerz" are mainly jerks.
My top played game on Steam is Gems of War with close to 3.5k hours (and many more on mobile). The second one is Euro Truck Simulator with 1.1k followed closely by Clicker Heroes and with a wide margin by a bunch of other idle games.
What does this make me? A gamer by your definition? A hardcore casual?
That said, the Wikipedia article funnily enough shows there is no actual unified, standardised definition, just how the word is fluid and gets interpreted by different views. So, no coined or standard about it, just the usual way language works.
I only play on mobile occassionally, but I've been playing it for I think 4 or 5 years now. Never dropped a dime in the game, but I love that it's not necessary either.
That is quite ironic considering you refuse to face the truth and reality that a non-standardised phrase is subjective.
Every hobby has its share of gatekeepers. Playing videogames is such a heterogenous hobby than anyone trying to gatekeep can only paint themselves in a corner.
Hence why I like to say I'm not a 'gamer', but a 'guy who plays videogames'
So, uhm, there's that.
Not to mention there are tons of games available priced anywhere from $.99 going up to $70. Your aren't limited to only buying $70 games.
