   What kinds of gamer stereo types do you get from people?
  What kinds of gamer stereo types do you get from people? Or what kinds of responses do you get from people when you tell them you want to get a job as a game developer.I was just wondering because I get some really funny and ignorant responses from people when I talk about Gaming or Game Dev...For instance the other day I was at my girl friends house watching G4 (it''s a video game channel) and one of her friends was over. I was just sitting there enjoying the show and her friend was all "Do you even go to school, or anything productive, or do you just play games all the time?" aparently any one who likes games is just a loser who has nothing to offer society.also when ever i tell anyone i want to be a professional game programmer most peoples reaction is to laugh and say... "no but seriously what do you want to do?"anyone else have some funny stories? 
  There was a great thread about this awhile back... i think it was called game developer discrimination or something like that. I wish Search would work, I want to link it.    Resist everyone;Google is your friend ;quote:Original post by jakerrz  ... I tell anyone I want to be a professional game programmer...   No but seriously what do you want to do?
