The gaming snob is something different from a hardcore player.

I consider myself a hardcore gamer. What else would I be? I own 13 systems, love reading, studying, and learning about the industry, and routinely play a wide variety of games, from a variety of console generations.


I'm hardcore and a collector.

There are snobs or elitists to pretty much any hobby. When it comes to Metal, then I've typically been an elitist snob.

A gaming enthusiast?  Going purely by the definition of the word hardcore, you are not hardcore.  You are not part of a small elite group resistant to change.
