I might be wrong, but I think I remember hearing that and thinking it was strange, because he has previously stated otherwise.
Again I may be wrong and just misheard it.
I think he did say that, and I think I get what he means by it. I love to play games, and I can sit down in front of one and lose a whole days of my life when I'm in an obsessive phase but I'm not
a gamer by the definition of serious gamers. I don't play anything and everything that comes out, I don't always feel compelled to see a game through to the end, and sometimes I care more about enjoying an mmo environment than I do leveling or stats. I think Dan, as much of a completionist as he is, has probably just accepted that he loves some games - not all games. So he doesn't consider himself a gamer in that regard.
Good to know that I hadn't imagined it. And yes I agree with this. I think he likes playing games, but isn't really 'a gamer'. Which I think is another reason that we won't see some of the games mentioned being played out on danandphilgames.
If he did say that in a ls, I'd be interested in the date.. Knowing how Dan is with comparing himself to others (usually other youtubers), I wouldn't be surprised if he stopped calling himself a gamer after working on the Supergamers. It probably changed his definition of gaming, seeing the "elite" going at it. I don't think the label
gamer needs to be that strict; personally, I even consider Phil a gamer. They spend hours on various games, that's enough for me. (
Console/PC games. I wouldn't call somebody who only plays flappy bird for hours a gamer..).
I don't pay much attention to Zoe (Alfie kind of makes my skin crawl?), but Dan is so adorable when he's around her that I'd enjoy any collab between them just to see that side of him some more. She should just film him playing with her dog(s?), I don't care.

I liked their SAP episode with Grace! I wouldn't mind seeing them together again. Omg I want Dan & Phil to do her podcast, but two separate episodes of them each alone. I think that's the most likely podcast of any that they would do since the questions aren't prying, it would just be fun! I hope somebody pushes that idea when they're in LA..
