anecdote time: my mom watches more movies than any person I know. Is she a hardcore movie fan?
i don't know! she barely remembers what she has seen, she has average taste AT BEST, and she NEVER rewatches something she has already seen.
She also reads 2-3 books a month, and will never, and has never, re-read a book. even her favorites.
I imagine that there are other people like her, some of them are gamers. Are they the average gamer? I don't know. I don't have a clue what the average gamer does. I only talk to people who don't play, who barely play, and who play a LOT. Nobody seems to play "medium" amounts of games in my experience.
what would be medium? i don't really know, maybe 6 games a year? hard to quantify. what is a wow gamer? amiserablepileofsecrets.
