Um no. To be casual you are either doing something by chance, indifferent or irregularly. To be a hobbyist you have a regular passion outside of profession. It's what keeps you happy and something you focus on. If you do a hobby casually...that isn't your hobby. That is just doing something casually with indifference towards growth. Hobbyists actually care and spend time on what they do apart from profession. Hobbyists collect, play, work on and do everything (usually without even getting paid for it, because of the love for what it is they are into).

Fair enough, there are people that have gaming as a hobby. But that has nothing to do with being "hardcore". If you meant hobbyist, then why didn't you say hobbyist earlier?

I didn't use the term 'hobbyist' because thats not gaming lingo. As gamers we use certain words to set apart novices (or casuals) from intermediates and advanced gamers. Hobbyist is the technical term that defines a 'hardcore gamer' or 'the hardcore'. They have done everything but gone professional. Most of us here are gaming hobbyists, including me.
