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.

Just when I was about to say why I hated the 'Hardcore' classification, the article did it for me. Anyone particularly interested in a form of media shouldn't bare an adjective-classification in common with intense pornography. That's weird.

I say someone who takes gaming seriously is considered more hardcore
