Point taken, however are you claiming professionals do not have that mindset? That the grandpa doesn't have the mindset of a casual gamer and therefore is part of the hardcore crowd? If he isn't a casual, then what is he?
Not all hardcore players are professionals, just like not all gamers are casual. I simply took two extremes of the spectrum to prove my point; that there is a difference between hardcore and casual. A point that it seems we both fundamentally agree on.
