| Slimebeast said: I don't exactly understand your point, Richard. You are addressing something quite obvious I believe. Yes, you are correct in that core gamers in general don't understand casual gamers, and vice versa. And yes, there is contempt and elitism displayed by core gamers towards casuals. |
I was trying to get a proper frame of mind here, when I am reading posts where you see some regular gamers make out people who don't have games as a hobby (but will dabble with sometime) as almost an entirely different species, if not ethic group or race. I ask this, because I remember the "back in my day" when you had arcades, coin-ops had to have some appeal in being accessible to new players to get them in, but also ramp up the challenge. There was not some sort of divide, just videogames being games.
