wider audience = filthy casuals
filthy casuals = mediocre gamesThose terms are tossed around so much that people have a hard time agreeing what to call themselves. To one man he's a casual and to another man he's considered "hardcore".
In once place such as at Capcom Unity, people believe casual gamer to be the term coined with them because they only want to play a game that they can enjoy such as Resident Evil before it became action oriented. Hardcore to them is a gamer whose so into playing video games that he plays any and every game including these action-oriented RE titles.
On the opposite spectrum casuals here are Capcom Unity's definition of "hardcore". But regardless of how confusing the names can be, I understand what everyone's getting at. What I'm saying however is be careful who you call casual and who you call hardcore because white is the color of death in Japan.
Let me use one more example, though. Someone who plays indie games because they are the games that go back to what gaming's all about, fun. This type of person could consider himself "casual" and plays these types of games because he hates the direction gaming's taking. When everyone here says "casuals" are the root of all evil, you're sending the wrong message to someone who doesn't deserve it and implying that this individual does the exact opposite of what he intends.
