The problem isn't so much that these games are considered immature or cater only to a certain bracket, but that the games themselves either make up the bulk of what's on the market, or that that is what people think gaming should be about. I do not play video games for every single game to look or feel the same.
The whole 'spitting on casuals' comes from fear. People think that this casual movement is going to kill games that they want. Foolish? Sure. What makes anyone think that all gaming companies are just going to drop what they've been doing and start making nothing but casual games? Do they think that casual gamers are as easy to appeal to as the core gamer? Not on your life. Sure, I'll agree, casual gamers do carry the market, there's just not enough truly hardcore players to sustain such a large market.
Companies aren't going to just start ignoring what they know will be guaranteed money. They know people are going to buy a few million Marios, Final Fantasies, Halos, Zeldas, Ratchets, GTAs, and the like. Especially to cater towards casual gamers that might be a lot harder to coax into buying things. Live with it, there are going to be more casual games out there. Oh noes. Maybe because even more games will be made than ever before? Perhaps because the gaming industry will also grow now that the market share is growing and embracing new people?
Relax and play whatever game you were going to play anyway. And then play the next seventy years of games made for you too. What's this argument about again?
