I always assume the mature audience are those who averse to gaming before this generation and consistently throw insults to gamers. Now, when gaming became more mainstream, the same crowd has to justify their buyer's remorse and thus classified themselves as a 'hardcore' audience.

Unless you are one of those people who aims to game on the best possible platform, this means most multiplats on pc, and unless you are willing to play all genres, you are far from my definition of 'hardcore'. But to each of his own.


Uhhh?  Correct me if I'm wrong but are you saying hardcore gamers mostly play on the PC?  


No. ALL hardcore gamers play exclusively on pc. F2P MMOs and Facebook games FTW.

@ MDMAlliance 

The term 'hardcore' was never distinct nor prominent until this very generation, I'm not exactly sure why so I made a wild assumption. The tag 'mature' serves more than a simple discription to these gamers, it justify their hobbies which they previous deemed as childish. And I'm not implying hardcore gamers mostly play on PC, I am saying they are willing to seek for the best possible available platforms for the games they are interested in, like choosing Watchdog on Wii U if it offers what the other versions don't. That's my take on 'hardcore' audience. 

@Homer

Aye, don't forget all the delicious games on windows like Internet Checkers.


Hardcore gamers are gaming hobbyists. They enjoy challenging games. They are the backbone of the industry essentially.
