Isn't it ironic that you used anecdotal data as a rebuttal to anecdotal data?

to some degree that is the whole point

IMHO there isn't a realistic "typical gamer stereotype" anymore

sure you can pick any of the past stereotypes and will find people like that, even many, but it's not "most" or even "a slim majority"

Games, and with that Steam, have spread through all of society and Steam is the most wide spread platform for it.

So whatever anecdotal data you have based on your local environments selection bias is probably not "overall representative", just a slice of one of the many many different kinds of people playing games bought from steam.

Nope! That's just how a normal conversation works.
