I devote most of my free time to the world of video games, whether it is playing them, watching videos that talk about them, going to forums like this one, reading the news and opinions regarding video games. So I think I can say I'm a true gamer, Though I would use the words "hard-core gamer" but it doesn't matter what we call it, we are what we are, period.
I have a friend who's very casual and I don't mean that in a bad way, it's his way and that's fine too. Why do I say he's a casual? Cause he mostly only plays one game: FIFA, very rarely touches other games and when he does, he never finishes them or play them for very long.
Also he knows nothing of what's going on in the world of video games. He has no idea who are people like Jim Sterling, Yong Yea, Spawn Wave or Julien Chieze or what those peoples' points of views are and what they stand for.
He has no idea for instance that Activision or EA are scummy companies with their lootboxes and pay to win mechanics designed to prey on weak minds or that Bethesda that used to be an ok company is now one of the worst and so on... Well he knows a little but only cause I sometimes explain this stuff to him but he won't find this info by himself cause he doesn't care. In one word, he's a casual.
