A gatekeeper is a selfish person who keeps songs from other people just so they can feel special and keep the songs for their own personal enjoyment.

When self-appointed authorities in the gaming community attempt to dictate how others should play, speak, or engage based on personal preferences or perceived norms.
"I prefer playing stealthily in this game."
"You're not a real gamer unless you play aggressively."
"I like using this controller for gaming." "Real gamers only use XYZ brand. You're not serious about gaming."
"I enjoy playing casually for fun." "Casual gamers ruin the experience for serious players. Step up or quit."
"No, it's not a mod/playstyle choice!!! Silent Assassin is cheating, and anyone with half a brain cell is going to think of you as a cheater if you run it."
"Embracing a 'Gamer Gatekeeping' attitude, some assert their words as law in the gaming world, dictating how everyone should play. Disregarding these proclaimed rules may lead to exclusion from the gaming community."

i clenched tightly but the puckered gatekeeper betrayed me, releasing a silent but deadly one just as the elevator door slid shut.
