Well, to be fair, extrapolating fan booing as any kind of representation of hardcore, casual, majority, or minority are all assumptions. False or not, a better point would be to say people at fanfest don't necessarily make up a majority, or a minority. We simply don't know. Yet, that is what people are assuming to be true here.

And alas, you end your post with another false assumption. You say easy games don't last because they bore people. You assume people play games simply because they are challenging. I assure you, this is in no way always the case. You can put a game on easy mode and still enjoy the story, as it may be engaging enough to someone to constitute "fun." I found the Last of Us to be extremely easy and linear but it was fun to play. I've played it more than once, as well. Not boring at all. Putting it on the hardest difficulty didn't enhance it in any way for me, it just assured that I took longer and died easier if I made small mistakes. There are games that are addictive that many types of gamers enjoy (mobile games, for example) that don't necessarily provide hardcore challenge but are still fun and not boring. Unless by "games" you meant MMOs, then you might have a stronger case. Maybe.
