I always though hardcore was a reference to how much you gamed, not to which games you played, how you played them or what you played them on. There have been so many revolutionary distortions in how things are perceived this gen. Its like gaming has been completely redefined to fit various groups benefits. |
You are right about its core meaning, but there's also a strong statistical relationship between how much a gamer plays and how skilled he is.
In other words: hardcore gamers - players who game a lot - are typically much more skilled than casual players, and typically they're also more interested in a challenge.
