I saw a tweet by Brock Pierce yesterday:
Aong other things, he explains there's basically 3 different groups in the crypto community: The Cypherpunks, The E-Golds and the Gamers.
I would guess the Gamers group is a big part of the EOS community. They would approach any system with a mentality that says 'I'm here to take all the loot and win this game'.
