Obrigada, Luiza. Aqui em São Paulo era o termo mais usado, antes de aparecerem esses dois outros ligados à cultura digital.

Foi o que mais se encaixou dentro do contexto, já que não existe uma gíria ideal e ficaria estranho usar "obstinado".

maníacos


Explanation:
Sweaty = a person who is way into something with intensity
(http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sweaty)

Maníaco = alguém extremamente obcecado por algo ou alguém
(http://dicionarioportugues.org/pt/maniaco)

Talvez vá bem aqui, visto que também não é um termo muito formal.


Example sentence(s):
  • Sou maníaco por vídeo game.
