What even is "the gaming community" anymore? Basically everyone except boomers play games.
What is a community? Recommended reading: Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson.
…There's probably an ecological definition for "community" that you could try to transfer over… I think in cases where a large group of individuals don't actually interact with all of each other either directly or indirectly, but are nonetheless relevant as a grouping because they share a particularly contextually prominent set of traits (E.G. "Plays Video Games"), then "population" might be a more appropriate term (if a bit sterile).
I think it is more than just people who plays games. It's more people who play games and participate in community, which is a smaller percentage, though still probably quite big
