It was a good attempt, but a failure in the end.

I think we should just change the name hardcore to nerdcore, because those kinds of gamers can pretty much give you a walkthrough of the game along with pro-tips without actually seeing the game.

Core can remain what it always has been: Pop games

And casual games can instead be called..... actually casual is perfect, since it doesn't require any memorization, any practice, any previous knowledge of gaming. There's no real involvement so to speak. Just like I can go casually read a newspaper. I'll gloss over the headlines, read one or two columns that might interest me and hit up the funnies.
