Indeed. "

This sounds like a secret Communist organization plotting to sabotage America's game industry. Don't be fooled children, resist the Red influence.

Claude, how DARE you steal my blog idea?! 
 
THIS IS WAR!!! 
 
NIGGA, FUCK YO COUCH!!!

Oh god, did I fuck up. Let me check... Okay, I'm cool. Let's fight. "

So, Wikipedia labels consoles by their generation.  Why do you care that they care about when the console was released? 
 
This just smells of over-dramatic revolution for no real reason...  I feel like I'm reading Animal Farm.

Animal Farm is cool, but I'm talking video games. George Orwell died in 1950, sorry, he missed the bus. The short bus. "

Of course it does, it plays a serious role in my life... a serious hobby of mine. Coalition, well, that's subjective, much like all of life. To join means nothing, to join means you choose your game of choice,  you win nothing, you lose nothing, you just play the games on the platform in which you wish to play, that's the key, love it  and move on. It's not the console wars that bother me, but the misunderstanding that there are games to be played, what they are played on is where my feathers get furled.

I was part of the coalition before it even existed. *raises fist* 

Well said, Claude. I'm sure all of us who play games for the sake of playing games fully share your views and empathise with your cause. I know I do.

I find myself very confused right now.

My name is Ze and I play games and don't care that I've lived through 7 generations of systems. 
Now if only someone else felt that way too so I had someone to play with online instead of them being here, being angry about nothing :(

YEA! Screw consoles! PCs are the l33t! 
 
....Wait.. that's not what you're saying is it? 
 
Umm... Umm... Look! A bird!

I would never want to belong to a coalition that would accept me as a member.

Labeling is natural for most human beings. Sometimes we label so much that we don't even realize we are doing so. In terms of videogame labels, I think most of them were created by people who cannot afford other systems, and therefore whichever one they have they will say, "I'm a [console/system] gamer," because they want to feel like the their system is the best to justify their purchase. In other cases, some people like to separate themselves because it makes them feel better. There's not one definite answer because they are a lot of reasons, but labeling is something that humans have done and will continue to do.
 
...Anyway, I support this movement!

Hi, I'm Boobs McGee and I am a Member of the Video Game Coalition. 

The labels are for marketing. You know the marketing has truly succeeded when we have adopted those labels into our own gamer vernacular.

I don't know why people are actually arguing or trying to rationalise this. I expect the giantbomb community to absent-mindedly jump on any bandwagon, no matter HOW CRAZY or WHICH DIRECTION that wagon is going. 
 

JUMP ON OUR FUCKING BANDWAGON!!

Chumps

fuck, i dont know. Both? "

I like specifics.  
 

Personally, I'm a physical media moviegoer, and I think theatre moviegoers are all noobs for paying to see a movie once, and these new streaming media moviegoer kids are scrubs for not being able to handle getting up and put a disc in a tray. Theatre moviegoers might all QQ about how physical media and streaming media are killing moviegoing, but at least when I watch a film on physical media the only thing raucous and outspoken that can ruin my moviegoing is my dog.
 
What were we talking about again?

video games suck 

As someone who's been gaming before some users here were born...  I understand why people classify stuff.  Helps when you're trying to talk about the progress hardware has taken.  I guess I never equate hardware progress with software progress.  If something's good for the environment it was written in, then it's good.
 
Or should I be rowdy?  Sorry.  Maybe that was too sedate.

What happens when I resurrect my dead? Let's see what happens. If it doesn't end well, I'll know, believe me. My name is Claude and I play games... video games.
