Blogger askagamedev once said that the general breakdown of games player bases are 80% of players will never engage with anything beyond the game itself. 20% will actually bother to go online and read something about the game, and a mere 5% will be engaged so much as to actually bother to post and communicate with other players.
I'm not sure how true those numbers are, but if you look at people watching sims trailers and commenting, it does feel correct.
I would say if you play the game and you enjoy it, you are a fan, if you are a true fan then I think you are either those 20% or those 5%. Although I don't really like the word "true fan" I would probably call them active fans, or active players. Those other 80% like the game, and play it but they don't care about what's happening outside of the game so they are not really active in the community.
