Odd social comentary to begin with. 207.189.98.44 21:48, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
There are two big problems with this article in its current state. I just NPOV'ed the paragraph on "casual gamers." It stated that casual gamers don't make a significant contribution to the video game industry. I removed that since (1) it isn't true and (2) it isn't qualified. Contribution based on what? Sales? Innovation? Hardware sales?
A similar statement is made in the "hardcore gamer" paragraph. It states that HC gamers make a significant contribution to the video game industry. Again, based on what? Whoever added that, please qualify.
Lastly, the article mentions "softcore gamers" but offers no explanation of what one is (as opposed to HCG's and CG's). I don't know what a "sofcore gamer" is or I'd add it (I have an idea, but no references). Thanks! — Frecklefoot 15:11, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Should this article be renamed to video gamer? "Video game player" reads to me like a synonym for " video game console". - Sean Curtin 05:22, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)
Am I the only one that feels this article needs a rewrite? It reads like somebody speaking to me, not an encyclopedia article. Some of the commentaries are begging for source material, too...
