The other thing I notice about my daughter and her friends is that they don’t often collectively refer to themselves as “gamers”.
They clearly play video games, and quite a lot too. But they don’t identify as “gamers”.
Instead, they refer to themselves as being part of a fandom.
As in, they’re not Minecraft “gamers”, they’re Minecraft “fans”.
It’s an interesting shift in lingo.
