Mid core gamers? No such thing. You're either casual, or an enthusiast. I'd be totally fine with Apple taking all the angry bird and farmville playing people out of the damn industry.

I'm not too far behind you here but the real enemy of good games is the diluting and dumbing down of enthusiasts games. Casual fare for casual's sake is fine, applying the same recipe and mindset to mainstream gaming is not, in my humble opinion.

Yeah I agree with you. If they could both coexist without merging together than everything would be fine. But that simply isn't the case, the industry will always try to reach out and grab those casual players. More people=more money. Money is money regardless of who it is from.

If Apple can take the casuals away, and the gaming industry stops trying to cater to them, then I say it's for the better.
