There are snobs or elitists to pretty much any hobby. When it comes to Metal, then I've typically been an elitist snob. |
Like you, I own quite a few systems, love reading, studying, and learning about the industry, and routinely play a wide variety of games, from a variety of console generations. Yet, I don't consider myself a "hardcore gamer".
The thing is that there is no real definition of "hardcore".
Unfortunately, most people claiming being "hardcore" these days are gaming snobs (most of which are actually less enthousiastic about video games than you and I), and that's why I would go for something like gaming snobs for the current definition of hardcore (which is obviously different for yours).
