What is a social gamer? Is that someone who plays games on facebook? Originally I thought it might be someone who plays MMORPGs. WoW was social-ish and there was economics.
Yeah.. I guessed that from the infographic.... Seriously though, that makes me way less interested in what they are talking about. People I know who play those games are mostly just spacing out and not thinking about what they are doing. When I play Kerbal Space Program or Civ 5 or CS:GO or whatever, I am thinking, strategizing, calculating, and testing my reflexes. I don't see much of that in Farmville and Candy-Crush....
