Defining the "Casual Gamer" in Wikipedia

By: karlw on March 30, 2007 [<<] [>>] [back to archive index]

After coming across the term "casual gamer" in Wikipedia, I had to take action. I've added the following text to the casual gamer definition:

"There seems to be some confusion between the terms '''Casual game''' and '''Casual gamer'''. It is false to make the assumption that a casual gamer plays only '''casual games'''. The term is more accurately placed in contrast to the '''Hardcore gamer'''. It is the amount of time and effort spent on playing games that defines the casual gamer as well as the social impact playing games has on the individual."

Would you place us [Lounge Three members] in the category of casual gamers? Tell me why, or why not.
