I&#x27;m confused. The author is talking about &quot;hardcore&quot; gaming, but then comments about the time commitment being too high.<p>By definition, isn&#x27;t extended time commitments part and parcel with hardcore gaming? A hardcore MMO player is one who spends quite a bit of time raiding or PVPing - not one that logs on for a few minutes a day to do their daily quests or maybe level an alt.
