The terms "hardcore" and "casual" for gamers is subjective as can be, and therefore the whole argument about which camp is ruining or saving gaming is completely insane. How can someone yell at the other side of the fence if they don't even know the boundaries?

I've been gaming for years. I like games. I read about them, post on forums, and listen to podcasts. But I don't play games often (maybe once or twice a week for an hour maximum), and have no idea the new games coming out. Where does this put me? A hardcore onlooker? A casual gamer but who likes to read?

It's nonsense.
