hardcore player
Serious gaming enthusiast
A hardcore player is someone deeply committed to a game, typically investing significant time, mastering advanced mechanics, and pursuing difficult challenges.
The term contrasts with casual players who engage more lightly: Hardcore players had already beaten the raid before most people logged in.
The label carries pride among enthusiasts but can suggest obsessiveness to outsiders.
