We need a commitment to mobile gaming

“Casual gamer” is a term that is used by some people to describe those who play typical smartphone games, usually in a derogatory fashion. I’ve been called a casual gamer in the past for loving the Wii rather than the ‘hardcore’ consoles and it’s always seemed odd to me. Is casual supposed to be an insult? Gaming is a hobby for the majority of people, does that not then mean you’re playing casually?
