The use of terms like "true gamer" or "hardcore gamer" being used as marks of superiority over others has always reeked of arrogant elitism to me, and still reminds me of the days of internet Neckbeards throwing hissy fits over the Wii's success because it dared to appeal to people outside their demographic, or as they referred to the them, "filthy casuals".
It's something I sincerely hope gaming will someday outgrow.
