Unlocking better gear/powerups/abilities is the basis of games. Is this supposed to be a generic gaming sub?

Nah, clickers is a defined genre, just like incremental, incremental have reset features.

Go to steam and look at the game differences with the tags, go to other websites that host incremental games, same thing.

Clickers and incremental are two distinctly different genres, with lots of overlaps.

Clickers are Number Go Up games, while incremental must have some reset feature to make future runs easier. Without the reset, it’s just a clicker.

There’s no incremental tag in steam

If not tag, the term is used in the game names, my apologies.

I can imagine a Numbers Go Up game that instead of clicking to increase the numbers you purchase upgrades that do the equivalent of clicking for you, so it isn't really much of a clicker or mouse-breaker… or does Clicker mean any numbers go up game, regardless of how important specifically clicking to make numbers go up is?
