It says something when a site like Imgur, an image-sharing site that wasn’t created for gamers, is now overrun with gamers. Based on a survey of Imgur’s “geek culture,” the company found that 91 percent of its users are gamers.

On top of that, 63 percent of gamers on Imgur play at least once per day, and 88 percent play a few times a week. Over percent of the gamers on Imgur spend over $100 per year on video games. 52 percent would rather sacrifice one meal a day for a month rather than not be able to play their favorite game ever again.
