I once asked a man what a "core gamer" was, and he gave me this definition.

"One who has a genuine interest in video games and who buys video games on a relatively constant basis." 

Hole in the theory:

Does it make me a hardcore player if I only play CoD games or only FF games or only Halo games or religiously follow every single title and spin off of any other steeply milked franchise ?


Imo, being hardcore has nothing to do with being addicted to playing a particular game. If you limit yourself to one or a bunch of games, you aren't hardcore.  I've known people addicted to Tetris, Gran Turismo, some people are addicted to Farmville, we know tons of people addicted to COD games. That's not hardcore to me.
