So, what does it take to be a gamer? Can they play all kinds of games regardless of difficulty and genre or is it only for those elite players who can beat games at the highest difficulty.

This episode takes a look at video game integrity and "git gud" culture. We look at the common "real game" tropes and argue why they don't actually matter.

Spoiler Alert: Games should be fun and for everyone.
