I don't understand why "casual gamer" is an insult.

This is probably because I identify as one. Yeah, I play a lot of games considered not for the "casual" crowed, such as Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Zelda, but I'm not "hardcore". I'm a completionist and an achievement whore, but I'm not "hardcore". I will compete and enjoy competing with other people but I'm not "hardcore". Why? Because I define "casual" by how one approaches gaming and how much of their time they spend on gaming.

To me, "casual" is more about picking up and playing a game to have fun and just enjoy yourself. You don't spend all your time gaming. You have other things in your life you like to do too. "Hardcore", on the other hand, is about beating a game, about winning. It's also something that takes up much more time that what a "casual" would commit to.

Both are legitimate ways to approach games but I will never understand the hate that gets passed among the two crowds.
