Mercury in Sagittarius Gamers
Mercury in Sagittarius gamers are adventurous mentally. They like to experience all that the gaming world has to offer, whether its console gaming, PC gaming, or even Virtual Reality. They love to learn about new games and they get hyped rather easily over a game with good promotion. They are usually quite optimistic; they are not quick to criticize a game before release and would rather give it the benefit of the doubt. As gamers they simply play games for the fun of it, although they do enjoy healthy competition. To these natives, a good story in the game is just as important as game play. They get hooked to a series that leaves them wanting more; they don't like the quick and easy games. They are the biggest promoters and supporters of a game series they enjoy, so you may find them visiting fan events or promoting their favorites on social media. Their gaming style can seem quite reckless to some but that is how they learn, through trial and error. After it's all said in done, these natives may consider themselves "gurus" of the gaming world, so they may be interested in being trainers or coaches on gaming. They seem know ALL there is to know about a gaming series they like (or games in general), so feel free to ask them the questions you seek.
Mercury in Sagittarius gamers most certainly enjoy games in the action-adventure genre because of their interest in storytelling and the large amount of stages these games usually offer for exploration.

Mercury in Sagittarius Game Developers
Mercury in Sagittarius developers are filled with ideas, ideas that they use to promote, create, and direct. Let's start with their methods of promotion; they know exactly how to sell a product to the public because of their enthusiasm when speaking to others as well as their larger than life approach. They also take their enthusiasm into developing and/or directing their game play ideas. They always put confidence into their ideas and game plans. They never give up trying. This infectious part of them makes it easy for others to be inspired to follow them. For these natives, the journey involved in creating the game is more fulfilling than the actual finished product. They may seek to inspire other gamers to go on that same journey as "gurus" of gaming. They make excellent game consultants or teachers in the art of game development. They seek to give players an experience of a lifetime, giving a mixture of every piece of a game genre in one. Every game they create draws inspiration from their own personal experiences in life. These natives make excellent game writers because it's easy for them to capture the imagination of players.
Mercury in Sagittarius natives must be careful not to promise more than they can deliver. They have big ideas, which are not always practical which will disappoint them in the end as developers. These natives may only learn the hard way unfortunately, as their optimism may sometimes turn into egotism or overconfidence. It is not easy for them to accept criticism either, as they have a tendency to brush it off as jealousy or common negativity. They must be more attentive to the details and try to avoid stuffing all their ideas into one project. Procrastination might be their downfall as well because they don't like to take responsibility on the more practical sides of game development. It would be best if they have a business partner that is more grounded.
Note: Natives with Mercury aspecting Jupiter may also relate to this description.
