hubba hubba

there sure are.

there is nothing elitist about it.

a hardcore gamer isnt JUST someone who spends X amount of time playing a game. its a user who will work for his reward. and the content costs more, and is of higher quality.

a mobile "gamer" like trhese woman they are talking about in the article. want instant rewards, little content, and they usually pay nothing. its add money at that point.

and yes, stuffty casuals do hurt the market, because at the end of the day, developers really just make games that earn. the labor involved in making a a mobile game to earn add money is basically nothing.
the bar is set extremely low because casuals arent real gamers and dont know any better.
a fact that isnt to big a deal on their end sure, but the entire industry reflects this, and hardcores suffer for it.

the casual/hardcore debate isnt about elitism. its literally an attack by stupid entry level people into hardcore's already ongoing hobbies.

So apparently there's a difference between 'gamer' and 'gamer'

A gamer is, as Zanaran-squared said, a person who plays a game or games.

And a gamer is someone who treats gaming as a real hobby, and plays usually for hours on end.

The question is, which definition should be the norm?

[ResonKinetic]

forget that stuff

a gamer is a person who plays games regularly

that's the basics, but considering the discussion, the spectrum has to be broadened to casuals and hardcore gamers and whatever other names you wanna come up with for friends with no lives

or if you wanna get philosophical, they do have lives but are using games as a medium to hide from it

neither one because it dosnt matter.
thats why we use terms like hardcore and casual in demeaning ways depending on which side is saying it. it describes way more the type of person. not some silly buzzword we throw around.

Obviously the latter, except for morons like Zanaran who like to go by literal definition.

[ResonKinetic]

so is hardcore and casual a matter of which games you play or what

i mean i think "regular" gamers need to be given a classification too.

because i'm not hardcore and i ain't a goddamn casual and i think a lot of gamers can say the same thing

[Zanaran2]

A gamer is someone who plays a game, and it does not neccesarily imply that they play it for hours on end, nor does it imply that the game is a timewaster or a freemium. It just says that a gamer is someone that plays a game.

and go ahead and moan about me cropping out the entire definition of game, the other part wasn't as important to my point

my granddad plays the sport bowls

are you telling me that my granddad is just as an avid gamer as me

I also forgot to mention that the definition of gamer does not imply how much time they spend playing a game. A person playing a game is a gamer, according to the facts. Hide behind as many buzzwords as you want, that's the real definition.

Well, since he's older than you, he's probably played more games in his life time than you have, making him more of a gamer than you
