Yeah, I think that's what a lot of people have been trying to get to for a long time. I think usually gamers have a working knowledge of what's available out there to play, different kinds of genres, history of games and so on. This other type of gamer doesn't really know **** outside of Call of Duty.

Unfortunately these are the people that publishing companies want to target so games will be designed around them, their gaming knowledge and their gaming skills which are normally far below any of ours. 

Again, that's not to say that everyone that plays CoD is a bumbling idiot, good for nothing, dirty, filthy, unclean and unpure casual....but yeah, there's a large amount of them out there.

The term "**** gamer" is all opinions. You can't look it up in a dictionary or anywhere else. In my opinion, if you play even a single game consistently and grind it, you're a **** gamer. If you play a lot of games consistently, you're a **** gamer. If you play one game or more, but just play them every now and again, you're a casual gamer.

I would say most people here are in the core gamer class:

I would say most people here are a "high casual-low core" mix, according to that Wikipedia article. I also think that being a "hardcore gamer" would imply that you have a certain knowledge of and dedication to gaming at large. The people that only play CoD, like the developer was talking about, wouldn't have that dedication to gaming at large. That to me is a casual gamer.

I don't see where it's implied that **** has the certain knowledge and dedication to gaming at large. The urban dictionary definition makes that statement, but I don't see it there. It actually states that there are many subtypes of **** gamers which implies to me that there are much narrower groups of ****, possibly dedicated to a genre or particular game stream.

Thats what I'm saying, it's all opinion. CoD is the main game I play, but it's not the only. I still play my N64, GTA V, even Dorito's Crash Course a good bit, but I also have above average knowledge of video games.

I see it the same as anything else. I lift weights but I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore lifter. I don't have an in depth knowledge of all the different lifts, grips, equipment, personalities, etc. so I wouldn't compare myself to a person like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not only that but I don't have a passion or dedication to it.

I'm just referring to what was written in the article, so there's no need to compare. You're taking a completely different scenario and trying to insinuate a meaning that I don't believe was written; however, I still disagree with you, I think based on the **** definition for gaming (if comparing to weightlifting), if you lift weights (whatever grips and exercises you know) and do it religiously then I'd consider it ****. You don't have to know everything.
