In recent years there has been the discussion of what is a casual gamer and what is a hardcore gamer. Of course there have been simple answers to these questions such as, casual gamers being those who play in their spare time with the majority of the games being played on their phone. Hardcore gamers have been painted as the Call of Duty or World of Warcraft players who sit at their consoles or computers for at least 6 hours everyday. But then, where does that leave the rest of us?
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.

The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Casual gamer: Candy Crush or Angry Birds...easily accessible phone games like that. Only play when bored or waiting. 1 hour a day.
Normal gamer: FPS like COD... Or GTA, God of War, Portal, Mario games. Most if not all video games played more than usual over 2 hours a day.
Hardcore gamers: Any game played at excess (5 hours a day) with extreme passion and addiction. Yes hardcore angry birds is possible.
