I think you could make your definition a little more accurate and concise by simply saying that a hardcore gamer is one for whom gaming is much more important than average.  Lots of gamers you may consider hardcore that I know care about silly things like their gamer score, which I'd consider a casual thing.

or you could say that for a hardcore gamer gaming is a sport where the higher the difficulty gets the better challenge it is for you to win over that game or that special part of the game that required you to get into hardcore mode just to pass it.

OP: Fun playing games is for when you just want to hae fun playing games, hardcore is when you want to beat something or someone and any cost and put the effort to do so which will be repaid to you in satisfaction when you beat the game/boss/level.

Is marijuana the best medicine?
