| richardhutnik said: I think there are people who are just gamers, who like games of all sort. If this is what you refer to, then I can agree. However, you have what gets labelled as "hardcore", individuals who mock stuff like Angry Birds and flash games, who are different. The cliche thinking is such individuals like gore, violence, shooting things, and like to have situations where they can "pwn" people and calling them derogatory statements questioning their sexuality while wanting women to be sex object that are fap worthy. With some segment, there is accessibility as being a negative in it also. In trying to post the original message, I was trying to reach for the correct terms and probably missed it some. |
I'd argue, based on what they say and write, that most of the people who podcast and write articles consider themselves "hardcore," though. They certainly seem to glorify calling themselves that term, anyways. Those same folks routinely (though not universally) praise iOS games, for reasons that are largely lost on me.

I honestly, truly do not see what difference you're alluding to here.
