What is the difference between a serious and casual gamer? I mean, I've seen dozens of different interpretations of what a serious gamer is so I have a hard time taking it seriously, but what is a casual gamer? Sometimes I see it used like an insult, but apparently it's a very broad term and most people fall under it?

Apparently... (Also, I'm just as confused as you are)

Casual Gamer
= Someone who plays for fun.
= Someone who plays boring old computer games like The Sims.

Hardcore Gamer
= Someone who plays to win
= Someone who plays MANLY games like Battlefield or First Person Shooters.

and most people fall under it

I think that's really, really true. A huge number of people have one or two games that they enjoy and don't really do much else with it. Nothing wrong with that, either.

Sometimes I see it used like an insult, but apparently it's a very broad term and most people fall under it?

Honestly, the people I see using the phrase 'casual gamer' as an insult are mostly assholes who play games all day long and write long-winded, poorly spelled forum posts about 'game balance' and 'playing to win,' while being fantastically awful at whatever game/genre of choice they happen to play.

Basically they're failures and the only way they can feel better about themselves is to pretend they're part of an inherently 'better' subculture, and they slap the name 'casual gamer' on players they don't like--the implication being that a 'casual' doesn't understand/appreciate the game the way the ~hardcore~ do.
