Thus are the demographics of Gaming
Casual
Casual gaming is about appealing to non-gamers.
Core
Core gaming is about innovating and reinventing gaming while providing immersive and creative gaming experiences. Core knows no Genre, no Age Level and no demographic.
Hardcore
Hardcore gaming is about appealing to current trends of popular imagery in mature subject matter specifically geared towards males ages 15-25. Game play is typically geared towards the simplification and streamlining of game mechanics rather than innovating or exploring them. The games themselves are aimed at providing immediate gratification and typically keep to time tested genres rather than taking risks with hybrid formulas. Over time these games become a blur of clones and copy cats.
