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.

I don't do either of those things though because, difficulty and competition are just two aspects. I agree with the Fun part. It's not always about fun, to a hardcore gamer it's more about satisfaction than fun.
Sometimes it's score, sometimes it's beating other people, sometimes, it's about time consumption. But really it's about looking to games for something that that other things don't provide.
My definition is trying to leave it open to the many types of hardcore gamers.
Most of the time when I play, I couldn't give a crap how the game or the other players are telling me how I did. It's more about doing things. I still take my gaming much more seriously than casual gamers do. And I know many casual gamers who are extremely competitve and then forget all about games for a long time. Then they play a little bit and are competitive again.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
