As for thinking "Thanks to casuals, the game industry exists".... No. Just, No. Casuals haven't mattered in the video game industry until the PS2 came out. (Made evident by all the shovelware that exists on the PS2, compared to any previous console) It started off without them. You have to be extremely delusional to think otherwise.
That's hilarious. Casual gamers are the reason gaming didn't die in 1982 with the first big crash. Who do you think bought the NES in 1985 when it came out? Hardcore gamers? My grandmother had one. You don't get much more casual than a 67 year old woman that likes to play Othello and Tetris.
Casual gamers have been in this industry since the start. That you somehow think they haven't just shows how delusional and sad you really are. Besides you can't blame casuals for the lack of depth in a game anyway. Most of them like their games to be deep and approachable.
Lazy devs that don't understand that are the problem. They seem to want to make approachable games and think the only way to do so is make them easy and lacking in depth. You are directing your distaste towards the wrong people.
Okay, so lets call those people casual gamers for a second.
When compared to todays derp-face to only buys what IGN tells them to... What does that make them?
Because these are two COMPLETELY different groups of people.
