Saw this video yesterday from one of the YouTubers I'm subscribed to. I'm not a mobile gamer, but definitely consider myself a casual. No salt though, I see his point.

My thing is, if industries that produce a product only attempt to reach a small part of the market, their product is going to over all be less successful. For instance, if I made gloves for only left hands, I wouldn't sell many gloves. This is an extreme example. However, many people on here in past posts have disagreed that I'm a casual, yet many who I would consider hard core players would also refute that label. I'm curious how you all feel about this video, and how you see yourselfs (hard core or casual).
If Massive/Red Storm only made a game for hard core players, how many copies would get sold. Like wise if they only made the game for casuals, how many would get sold. My other issue, was that this video was rater black and white. There is probably a full spectrum of Hard Core, and I know there is a full soectrum of Casuals. For instance, grinding. As a casual, I see the Grind in both the Division and Warframe, and large part of the fun of the game. Do I think it can be overbearing at times? Absolutely!
I don't shy away from the current DZ, even though I get killed pretty much everytime I go in there. I have killed one Rogue on a PTS which didn't count, and one on my second account. On my primary I have over 1k hours and have never killed a rogue. No salt on my part over this. I always go in with a PvE build on (Lone Star) I'm not going to beat a PvPer....I'm just in there trying to finish up my Shields (which obviously I'm not going to finsh, so I just should't worry about it).
