In gaming, this is effectively impossible to define, but is usually thought of as those who believe that [[NoTrueScotsman true "hard core" games]] require enthusiastic commitment and {{Casual Game}}s should be ignored, if not locked out of "gaming proper" by definition ([[{{Irony}} hmm...]]). In terms of marketing, there actually is a definition the industry uses for demographics to separate "core" games (i.e. games for gaming hobbyists) and "casual" games (i.e. games aimed at everyone). To put it another way, hard core gamers play for a challenge while casual gamers play for general fun, which is not to say hard core gamers are automatically StopHavingFunGuys. In fact, some hard core gamers will play at a disadvantage in order to create a bigger challenge.

When referring to fans, hard core can either be a perjorative ("Dude, did you see that guy with a {{Mario}} tattoo? I'm glad I'm not that hard core.") or complimentary ("That Mario tattoo is hard core, man.") Generally speaking, anyone who calls themselves "hard core" is either [[SelfDeprecation joking]], [[FanDumb a little too into it]], or [[ADarkerMe full of it]].
