Casual Gamer = you like what I don't like
This.
Someone at my Uni said I was a casual gamer because I played CoD regulary

Casual Gamer = you like what I don't like
People who want developers to respect their time.
got it.Someone who games casually, usually those thag play on mobile or like 1 or two popular games a year like: CoD, Just Dance, or fifa.
A core gamer would play weirder games that arent as popular or beginning friendly like Bayonetta or Dark souls.
Think of the term "casual movie goer"
Someone who doesn't practice personal hygiene
sounds like mePeople who occasionally play games and don't really care about them.
Like someone who willingly spends months without playing games and doesn't really miss it.
So what exactly does the term "casual" mean when it comes to gaming? My friend called me a "casual" gamer after he learned I stick to genres like Shooters, Action, Adventure, Horror etc. and I'm having trouble figuring out what a "casual" means.
Halp.
Someone who plays games for fun and doesn't scrutinize everything. Basically not GAF.

in the industry, a casual gamer is one who spends little to no time reading about games, thinking about games, looking at advertising beyond unavoidable banner/tv ads, but still plays games.
Industry prefers hardcore because they are easier to reach and manipulate.
Casual gamers: The ones who play games here and there during their free time.
Hardcore: The ones who put more hours into gaming.
Competitive: The ones who buy games for MP rather than the SP.

I dono, I thought it was always pretty cut and dry to me:
Casual: Facebook games, flash games, and some light mobile stuff. Couldn't tell you anything about a 'console', 'controller', or anything like that.
Regular: Everyone else who doesn't engage less than the above.
Y'know, it's tough to top this concise and accurate summary.Casual Gamer = you like what I don't like
For some Casual = "You play games I don't consider challenging."
For others Casual = "You play mobile games like Candy Crush and Angry Birds."
