I think if you go to any gaming forum on the planet you would notice the same thing.
Casuals don't bother with gaming forums. More so a sales website.
I find that the casuals I know basically have FIFA consoles. In most cases they don't even know about 80% of the games I am interested in.

I completely agree on this as far as yearly titles go. Again I will repeat what I have said before on this thread, is that all of us want to feel like the way we are playing games, is somehow superior to those who are passionate about sports games or shooters, or any genre/game we don't play. It is simply natural to want to satisfy our egos and, it is very much a subconscious process we don't actively have as much control over. I believe it simply comes down to being involved with video games, and how passionate you are about them, regardless of what games you play. And it can be difficult to judge how passionate other communities are if you are not part of them, and often results in looking at them in a more negative light, because of intergroup bias. Edit: If a person spends 600 hours on an RPG, or 600 hours on Fifa, I would argue they are just as passionate about their game. |
Casuals spending more on those yearly titles or the odd GTA game doesn't make them not casuals.
Think of it this way, casuals are primarily why games like COD sell so much. Gamers like us that you will find on forums is why games like Dark souls, Ni-Oh....etc can evn exist.
