Logically, a core video gamer would be someone who makes up the foundation of the videogame market. It is these gamers that companies depend on to sell games and make profit. It's the casuals, the people who aren't essential, that make a game sell greatly. Continuing with this train of thought, a hardcore game would be one who is essentially the core of the core. They would tend to buy more games than just a core gamer and play more as a result. They are the steel rod supporting the back bone of the handicapped human body of video games. They are the molten inner core of the planet of video games. They are... that's enough comic book-worthy metaphors and parallelism.
