Gaming vs spielerisch

playful / effortless

'Gaming' and 'spielerisch' both have to do with games or playing, but they are used differently. 'Gaming' refers specifically to video games or to things made for them, for example a 'Gaming-PC' (gaming PC) or a 'Gaming-Stuhl' (gaming chair). 'spielerisch' more often describes the way something happens: easily, without much effort, or as if in a game. For example, you can learn 'spielerisch' (in a playful way), even without a video game. The risk of confusion comes from the fact that both words remind you of 'Spiel' (game / play). For video game technology, 'Gaming' fits; for a relaxed or easy way of doing something, 'spielerisch' fits.
