Resumo: The purpose of this article is to discuss the relation between two actors: the gamer and the videogame fan. The debate includes the self-recognition of players as fans or as gamers, the elaboration of their identities in relation to these denominations and the stigmas they carry. The analysis is held through a questionnaire applied in gaming communities and in-depth interviews with players. From the results, we identified two main player profiles in the community: the one who produces content (player-producer) and the one who consumes (player-viewer). Among the main contributions, we highlight the perception of online players' encounters as fan communities, the valorisation of the fan's self-recognition process and the similarities and differences between fans and gamers, from the perspective of the players themselves.

O debate inclui o autorreconhecimento dos jogadores como fãs ou como gamers, a elaboração de suas identidades em relação a estas denominações e os estigmas que elas carregam. A análise é feita por meio de questionário aplicado em comunidades de jogos e entrevista em profundidade com jogadores. A partir dos resultados, identificamos dois perfis principais de jogador na comunidade: aquele que produz conteúdo (jogador-produtor) e aquele que consome (jogador-espectador). Dentre as principais contribuições, destacamos a percepção de encontros de jogadores online como comunidades de fãs, a valorização do processo de autorreconhecimento do fã e as semelhanças e diferenças entre fãs e gamers, a partir do olhar dos próprios jogadores.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade Federal Fluminense2021-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/5046010.22409/contracampo.v40i3.50460Contracampo; v. 40 n. 3 (2021): A Colonização do Jogo pelo Capitalismo Neoliberal II2238-25771414-748310.22409/contracampo.v40i3reponame:Contracampoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporenghttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/50460/30816https://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/50460/32233Copyright (c) 2021 Clarice Greco, André Dal Bellohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGreco, ClariceDal Bello, André2021-12-30T17:40:02Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/50460Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampoPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/oai||contracampo.uff@gmail.com2238-25771414-7483opendoar:2021-12-30T17:40:02Contracampo - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
