The Ghost of RubangB said: To be honest, "hardcore games" is a marketing term created by developers who want you to think they're "cooler" than... whoever they're comparing themselves to at the time.

This doesn't make sense since to the developer "cooler" means big sales. "hardcore" games usually sells nowhere near what more casual games do. Of course they are exceptions.   For Example:  A lot of hardcore racing fans wanted F1 2010 to be a hardcore sim. Codemaster on purpose making this game leaning toward more casual in the effect of increasing sales.
