But in the sane world definitions don't change when people change. What happens is that people who changed get described with another term instead of redefining the previous term to still put the same label on them.

The term "mid-core" has the potential to become a buzzword and then it's going to be all the rage in the video game industry. "You have to make mid-core games, because they are the future.", when nobody really knows how to make a successful "mid-core" game. Then the label gets slapped on everything in PR talk and the definition keeps changing until it turns out that "mid-core gaming" isn't the big thing that everyone thought it would be, mainly because the definition was all over the place.


PR talk has always been shit, and it will always be.

That's just a shift in words, facebook became mobile, destructable environments became open world, and midcore are the new casuals, that's all.
